I watched some of it Christmas Day. Some family roped me into it. I wasn't impressed with it, at all.
To be fair I haven't watched everything up to that point. I watched season 1. I thought it was ok. The substance of it was good, but spread very thin over the number of episodes and length. Very effective hooks. Just enough to get you to continue watching an engineered waste of time. When I saw episode 1 of season 2 and felt absolutely no hook I said good. From what I saw Christmas day leaping to season 5 I don't think I regret falling off that waggon.
Edit: Last thing.
I saw some of what I call the Walking Dead effect. It's where the characters becomes so iconic, or at least the directors feel so, that they think its reasonable to just hang the camera on a character for an uncomfortable amount of time. The Walking Dead was so bad toward the end that's all the show was. And its shots were almost always from a low angle. The last season of Walking Dead was just panning to different 40 second shots of people's nostrels. There was no content.
