Questions about Gimple's sins, Kang's potential, etc

Relatively new here, haven't read the comics, just wanted to ask a few questions and see if any of my feelings were shared. The show has had genuinely impressive peaks, some of my favourite television, and disappointingly boring lows, and currently seems to be in it's Great Depression. So, question time:

  1. How much of what people don't like about the show at the moment is Gimple's fault? The isn't in defence, I just want to know if people think he's solely/mostly to blame or if people think the show's been getting worse since before his reign, and if so, since what point?

  2. Given that she's responsible for two of my favourite moments in the show, two of its highest points, being throat rip vs child rape and "You mean me?", I think I would have been really excited about Kang showrunning TWD had it not become such a bloated, predictable mess. I imagine it'll improve but never hit those bullseyes again. Does anyone else feel the same way? Does anyone think Kang can actually save the show? Or that she'll make no difference at all?

  3. Sort of building on the above, I can imagine Carl's death being handled better a few seasons ago, a tragic shock, a hole left in his absence, the emotional effects rippling through the group, perhaps it'd be a catalyst for Rick getting severely depressed and giving up, or sending him into madness, like we saw but for different reasons and whatnot. I'm interested to see what you lot think, anyone share this view? I understand that it'll have all sorts of future consequences due to the (serious) divergence the comic storylines, and I definitely didn't want to see him go, but when it happened my immediate thought was that it might have been good a few seasons ago..

Thanks in advance for any and all answers guys.
