I would say that the dialogue has slightly improved since last season, but really, Season 5 contains the exact same problems that plagued the worst seasons of TWD, as well as Fear's last two seasons.
- The pseudo-intellectual babble. "We're still here. We're not out there. Out there is... that's what we're trying to leave behind." This is the type of bullshit that's uttered in almost every single conversation. More recently, the archetypal conversation in FTWD is about "helping people." It's like the characters can only talk about one thing.
- Every character is the exact same now, including Nick and Madison. For whatever reason, this show is obsessed with making everyone saints. I'm sorry, it's not okay to just force a time-skip and have people magically completely change their worldview and motivation. Every character has the same motivation: they did bad things in the past and are trying to make up for it.
- The strange pacing. The show just feels so cheap when you have a bombastic first and last couple of episodes, but the filler almost all consists of groups of two or more characters "going on runs," or otherwise dealing with some sort of zombie problem. Why do major characters seemingly disappear for weeks at a time? Why are the characters always separated? Remember when all of the Clarks were in every single episode? Shit, if Gimple/Chambliss/Goldberg ran Fear back then, we wouldn't have seen Madison until the premieres and finales.
