Well, I guess we all have our own opinions, but there are SO many shows that are a LOT better. TWD is only good for gore and action. There is little to no plot in most of it.
And what plot it does have is really simple and uninteresting. In my opinion at least. These are some great shows on Netflix - Daredevil - Jessica Jones - Mad Men - Narcos - House of Cards These are some others not on Netflix that you should still try to check out.
- Better Call Saul (since you like Breaking Bad. It's a spin-off show that focuses on Saul Goodman, the lawyer that Walt and Jesse use) - Fear the Walking Dead (spin-off show of The Walking Dead, which is actually, in my opinion, a whole lot better than the original.) - The Wire - The Sopranos - Deadwood - Game of Thrones - Mr. Robot - True Detective - Hannibal - Justified - Six Feet Under - Boardwalk Empire - Ray Donovan.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
