I have had this opinion for a while that each showrunner has done a great job at fixing the previous show runners messes, but has sucked towards the end of their run as their long term ideas are not that great.
Darbont was great in season 1 outstanding episodes, but his ideas for Season 2 killing Daryl and Sophia and overall this outline for the farm was very borning
Mazzara season 3 returned the action to the show and things started happening, and the way he wrapped up season 2 with Rick and Shane was great. Green lighting and planning the Carol body burning story for season 4 was a definite character defining moment that created the Carol we know today. But then he was kill happy, killing 4 members of the cast in one season and greenlight an extremely lame verison of Tyrese. In killing Andrea he created a problem that exists even today in Walking dead
Gimple- Season 4 though terminus was some of the best walking dead, Gimple attempt to get the show back on track to the comics and the return for the Governor and Hershels death was a massive improvement to the way it was protrayed in the comic. His terminus arc was another great protrayal of a the comic arc. Then the lame show created hospital arc happened, and the show got extremely slow paced. Toward the very end of his arc he green lite storys that killed 4 of the main cast, even when they knew they were going to lose 2 more due to actors moving on. Leading to an extreme amount of newer cast that fans haven't connected to like the old cast members.
Kang- moved the show forward with a fresh start years later and immediately got into action with the Whispers and developed Henry, Judith, and Gabriel to fill voids left in the show from previous characters leaving.
after this everything is yet to be seen, but the pattern shows that Kang probably take the show downward very soon.
