I have been binge watching, The Walking Dead" on Netflix..

I started like at season 5 onward to season 9....

No commercials makes a big, big difference with following story-line and character flow...

Overall I see our MAGAS running under Nagan at Sanctuary and also see Nagan as our current day Putin.... Simon , Nagan's #2 man ...he is our tRump...a want a be leader with no skills. Ruthless, narcissistic, rigid and no people skills.

Ohhh, yea....Alexandria, in the beginning with thinking that the wall is effective and their perfect normal world is protected...the liberal viewpoint which works only in a functional society and world...well we see how that worked out.... maybe there are lessons here????

There are so many similarities of our current upside down world today seen in this series....

And while most watchers of the original series probably looked forward to the promised movies and then series with the original "Rick," by the time one was released (a year ago, I think?) I had lost interest and I doubt I was alone.

But there were attempts to message in the original series that made the series far more than just another "zombie" movie/tv series. I do like REAL survival storylines.

Their brutality of the whole thing made me so sick, couldn’t watch after that.
