Should I keep watching Walking Dead: World Beyond?

So far, it’s been super slow.
I’m about exactly halfway through the season and want to know if I should just delete it.

Well, that about answers my question.
It’s obviously a cash-in on the success of the main series, which is ending soon.

If you need more Walking Dead, check Fear the Walking Dead if you haven't yet. The latest season is quite good after 2 dissappointing seasons.

The "it gets good after XX hours" argument doesn't work for games, why did you think it would work for shows?
Presumably a show can have a slow burn with a glorious payoff that rewards the effort. Or is so episodic you can just skip bad seasons with a recap.

But a game requires 100% engagement so to have to get past 15 hours of grind to have 10 hours of joy is a much different reward system IMHO.

If you didn't had diarrhea by watching more than the first season of the first main serial, i think you are okay with watching everything walking deas related.

I didn't realize people still even watched The Walking Dead.

It's a shame how much the show went downhill. I watched until Andrew Lincoln left, but I wasn't really enjoying it as much by that point. That was kind of the final straw for me. When the show was consistent, it was fantastic. For the most part I don't regret watching it, but wish I'd stopped sooner when it was good.

I tried watching Fear the Walking Dead and didn't really enjoy it. I can't imagine I'd enjoy World Beyond either, it seems to be getting even worse reviews.

The only reason I really stuck with it so long is because I'd invested so much time in to it and some of the characters were familiar.

Amazing how they’ve stretched like four good episodes of TV (not even the full first season was good, it fell apart in the hospital, and the 2nd season was horrendous in every way) into like 10 seasons and multiple spin-offs.

That was the big problem with The Walking Dead in general. They had far too many filler episodes or episodes where it felt more like a soap opera than a zombie apocalypse. If they just condensed that, had less episodes and had a quicker pace, I would have preferred it. I feel they wasted time building up some characters that either didn't last long or weren't very likeable to begin with.
 
I know it's a forum and all but god damn, can anyone answer the OPs question instead of chiming in with years old twd sucks posts? I am curious to see if the spinoff is worth watching or not too ffs.
