I think the problem is that they need a new director. I mean look at the video games. In the 400 Days DLC, they manage to tell several different stories and make you care for several different characters in the span of about 15 minutes each. All through creative storytelling that leaves a lot to the imagination. Right now, we have these straight forward point a-point b storylines that really don't seem to have a direction.
I like all of the survivors well enough but they need to take a page from the comics. As much as I love the series--especially 1 and 2--I have to admit that it's gotten stale. In an attempt to give their characters more personality, they're showing that there isn't really much substance there at all. Biggest letdown was Daryl's backstory. To quote Bart Simpson: "You know what would have been better than nothing? ANYTHING!."
