The show sucked horse balls for the first three seasons, it's true, but the fourth was such a dramatic turn-around that I might actually watch the fifth. To me Carl and Rick had a watershed moment late in the fourth that rekindled some of my interest in those characters, and the direction the writers were going with them. It's massive spoiler territory, though.

We're marked for spoilers, are you talking about when Carl went walkabout when Rick was comatose or when Rick went all mad-dog that guy's throat? If it was the latter, that was the final straw for me. That was when I officially stopped caring because there was no longer anyone that deserved to survive, just two groups of animals. That and there are only so many jump scares with zombie fake outs that a body can take.

When Rick was comatose. They did a good job of showing how difficult it would be for a child to be self-sufficient in that kind of environment without falling for the lazy trope of just making him impossibly badass because he's the protagonist's son. But he struggles through. And finally makes up with his dad, because I was getting sick of that subplot. Combined with Michonne's backstory/finally giving her a reason to stick with the others (even if it's an emotional, rather than rational one) and developing her relationship with Rick and Carl.... honestly, yeah, fourth was great, especially given the shitshow that were second and third, and I have hope for the rest of the series now.

They've sewn up some of the more tedious plotlines (Carl doesn't want to be like Rick! Rick is sad because his wife died! Argh the Governor!) and hinted that they aren't going the cliche route with Daryl and Beth either, in interviews. The writing has improved dramatically, they're finally out off the farm/out of the prison... I think it's gon' be good.

Yeah, I'll admit the comatose Rick bit was well done. And the resolve was one of the few genuinely disturbing scenes in the show recently. I mean, I knew Rick was not going to be a zombie, but the way his breath rattled and he had to pull himself across the floor because of the dehydration from being unconscious for so long, while Carl sobbed was genuinely unsettling. That was some actually rare humanity. Certainly way better done than their attempt a heart string plucking with the two little girls.
