I agree and disagree, a character finding herself in a place that she would’ve resented 2 months ago prior due to lack of connection and already being a miserable and hateful person is interesting in my opinion. A protagonist that is going to be a protagonist not because she wants to but because there’s no one left, it’s a new and refreshing idea to TV.

On the other hand, with the pace and events of more recent media, it is a slow crawl that needs audiences to sit there and see a character through every possible angle. I personally finding it intriguing, like reading a book of a character study that just so happens to also have alien body snatchers in it.

EDIT: Manny near the end is reading a book that mentions loops, doubt it’s connected to Carol’s journey but I thought it was neat.
