TWD was never very good to begin with. People watched it because TV series were starting to have a breakout moment, the zombie genre had not been done in TV yet, and AMC had earned some respect from MM and BB. But it basically sucked from the start. Zombie fighting was central to the show because the human characters were generic and boring. TLOU was very good in season 1, and I think Craig Mazin did well when he deviated from the source material - see: S1E3 One Good Day. Neil Druckmann has also been a solid director. It exists in a world with zombies that sometimes create problems, but tries to be much more focused on human character development and interactions. Everyone who heard anything about the games has probably heard that games 2-3 were not as well received as game 1. Having now seen the death of Joel, I think most of us can understand why. I’ve also heard some reviews that the story remained very good, so hopefully that will be the case for the remainder of the TV series. So despite sharing a genre, I don’t think the comparisons between TWD and TLOU are fair. The former was a sloppy show with bad acting that meandered for 11 seasons (seriously?!) with no clear direction and lots of gotcha bullshit moments. The latter is a compact story based on specific source material that is scheduled for 3 seasons, with overall good acting and production value, currently in a season 2 transition period after losing one main character.
