I think all this pain is needed to be in this show , and the way that this is introduced to us is so real that we can feel that , so it is a good work by the producers . This pain is needed for the simple reason that this is an apocalyptic history . Of course that if we entered in this apocalyptic case , we would not be a society anymore . And to build a society again it will need more time . And even the good guys weren ' t always the good guys . They kill people too . And this is not a democratic society , not even for the good ones , because all that part of the history and politics don ' t exist anymore . So , that ' s why I see this show , because the producers can show us , what will happen to the society if a cathastrophic situation happened . All the values that the society was build would be gone and the animal part of us would be shown and we will live to survive . And that ' s why you can see here in Negan and the Governor . And that ' s why I see this show and I have to congratulate the producers to make that so vivid for us that we can actually feel every pain and joy from the characters .
