the reason i started watching is because the people who made Breaking Bad made this as well. |
Season 1 for me is an 8 overall, it has a very unique spin on the genre and focuses more on drama and characters than actual splatter elements. Yeah, the ending in season 1 is nothing much, surely a letdown after a good overall season (for me).
Season 2 is also an 8 for me, it has a slower pace and this is around the time the producers started arguing with Darabont (who since left the show). Season 2 really is slow at times but has a couple of moments that really hits the nail on the head (you'll know them when they arrive) and there is some actual character development in the latter half. You are also introduced to one of the most likeable (imo) characters on the show and a terrific act at that. Finale is pretty good, certainly better than season 1's. I'd call season 2 "uneven".
Season 3 is a 7.5 for me, the beginning is quite exciting but there is a branching story that seems a bit meaningless to me and you are introuced to a slew of inconsequential characters that serve mostly to annoy, some of the character development of the main cast also annoys. Again; it has some redeeming moments which you will recognize and the season is worth watching for sure.
Season 4 was pretty cool and has a couple of extreme moments (one which is arguably the most emotional for me), it has some grade A acting and gives some newer characters actual purpose as well as a goal of sorts for the groups. Look out for old buddies from the cast of The Wire! 
Season 4's finale was good imo, perhaps the best so far. I'd rate season 4 another 8, it draws out certain aspects of the story but it has quite a few esisodes that are genuinely exciting and perhaps the best single episode on the show so far (imo).
