After a midseason break, The Walking Dead seemed poised to turn things around. With the war coming, the 7B premiere drew 12 million viewers, but just a few episodes later, the show has sunk to a season low, also a four year low, with 10.16 million viewers. With so many episodes, plus Fear the Walking Dead, fans may just be drifting away. The Walking Dead might see some budget cuts, perhaps (please ban all future deer CGI, thanks), but no, things are not in “disaster mode” yet, despite these declines. The fact is that user ratings have zero season seven episodes in the show’s top ten of all time, and four in the show’s bottom ten.
