The Walking Dead is the best show produced by AMC, if not the best on television.

Hello and thank you for the debate opportunity. I myself am a huge fan of the walking dead however I do not think it is AMC's best or the best on television at the moment. For a show to be the best on television it would need to be near flawless. I feel that the Walking Dead has too many problems for it to be considered as THE BEST show on television. I will present this argument presuming that you are up to to with the episodes. Problems with the Walking Dead (Why it can't be considered as the best show on TV) 1. Not enough locations: The entire series is about a zombie apocalypse, so the show could easily benefit from a larger scope that gives us a peek at the world beyond a few locations. There have been a minimal amount of locations which results in episodes feeling repetitive and stale. Not what you would expect from a zombie apocalypse show where the world is there to exploit. However, if the show is going to stick around the same few places for seasons on end, it needs to find a way to make the audience love those locations. For example, People get a warm feeling when they think about the ship serenity in Firefly or the bridge of the Enterprise in Star Trek. After 16 episodes spent in the prison in TWD, it still feels like a random collection of identical corridors and cells. There has to be a reason for the audience to want to spend time in this place. 2. Introducing characters just to kill them off shortly afterwards: After finally giving a character like Axel a few interesting lines and moments, he was gunned down moments later. There was no time for the audience to feel a connection so it was just an aimless death. We see this a number of times throughout the show. it's very frustrating. If you want to have a body count, at least try to make us care about those bodies for longer than one scene. And the there is a serious habit of killing off a black character every time a new black actor joins the cast. It is annoying. 3. Lack of humour: Even the greatest dramas of all time find time such as 'Breaking Bad,' 'The Sopranos,' 'Deadwood,' 'Lost,' 'Mad Men' and 'The Wire' all have frequent humour in them. Not asking for jokes, just a relief every once in a while. Of course by nature it's a doom and gloom show but lack of any humour results in the show being bland and often disappointing. For these reasons I can't see hoe TWD can be considered as the best show on television compared to plenty of other contenders. Now, part 2 Why TWD is not AMC,s best show: I think that Breaking Bad is AMC's best show and I will now compare the two in light of being the best show on AMC. The Walking Dead, in terms of action sequences, beats Breaking Bad, especially in both of the series first seasons. However, that's all it's really got on Breaking Bad. The Walking Dead has a good plot, surrounding itself upon the "world's" apocalypse, there is times were the writers execute it well, and other times, execute very terribly. The writers even admitted to making characters make stupid decisions in order for the action to continue. Nobody wants to watch a show that's too forced. Breaking Bad on the other hand is near perfection when it comes to execution. Also the writing, acting, and character development is genius. You feel all these emotions for the characters in Breaking Bad that I didn't feel in The Walking Dead. If someone died in The Walking Dead, it didn't really affect me. Also Breaking Bad has consistently beat The Walking Dead on reviews. Taking all this into account I think the walking dead falls short of being AMC's best show.
