What I originally wrote after the first 2 episodes:
I hope that this spin off pans out better the some of the others. I loved these two characters (Maggie and Negan) as they were 2 of the power houses from the original series. I also like that there is a tension between them (not sexual). If you didn't watch the parent series you may not know whey there is tension, but it's there and it should be.
Here is what I hope doesn't happen.
1. That the series doesn't develop a character for most of a season only to kill them off, especially either of the leads.
2. That the bad guy doesn't send out people to hold the good guys at gunpoint while they deliver a monolog in a slightly over dramatic way.
3. That this series doesn't devolve like TWD or FTWD did.
Looking forward to this being entertaining.
So, there was monologuing and yes almost all new characters outside the main characters met a demise, so I'll change my review to "contains spoilers."
So, the reason why people liked Maggie and Negan was because of their personalities and how they were both written as very strong characters but something is missing in this series. It's like they're trying too hard to be Maggie and Negan if that makes sense.
The bad guys are too irritating for me to care anything about. The guy without the ear is annoying and the female who listens to Opera is about as bad. I'm not liking this first season as much as I wanted to.
Really I'm waiting on the Michonne/Rick serial and just marking time until that happens.
