Honestly as much as I’ve enjoyed the series as a whole (last two series of FTWD and a couple of series of TWD being the exceptions) I really wish they’d put it to bed soon.
TWD is alright for the most part, watchable and enjoyable but not a must watch like it used to be.
FTWD is just a joke now.
World Beyond looks to be in the same category as FTWD for now
Personally as soon as they reach the commonwealth they need to call it a day, if they want a semi happy ending that’s probably their best chance, if they don’t want to kill Rick off for good this time they can have him welcome the group into the commonwealth and have an episode or two after tying up people’s storylines, plus he’d get to see how Judith has grown up and learn about his son. The trio of films focusing on Rick can be how he survived and adapted into the commonwealth.
Sorry if there’s anything spoiler-y in the above, just my brief thoughts.
Edit, just watched the mid season finale, meh episode on the whole.
feels like Michonne is going off with Virgil just to write her out of it towards the end of the series, that benny hill scene at the end as well
