Why "The Walking Dead" Is Overrated

Although popular amongst viewers, I dare to say The Walking Dead is one of the most overrated shows currently on air. Here are some pros and cons 

Pros:
-Phenomonal first season
-One of the best Pilots I've ever seen
-Intriguing story line (on paper)
-Acting is typically first rate

Cons:
-Deathly slow second season
-Many episodes drag and feel like a chore to watch
-Although there is character development, all of it is abrupt and doesn't make sense
-Humans become more of a problem than the Walkers
-Rick Grimes becomes one of the most boring characters on television

The show isn't the worst thing on television, but it certainly is the most overrated. AMC should make a point to have the series focus on the zombies and what they can do to stop them rather than the Governor and other human antagonists. After starting the fourth season I have dropped the show entirely. I understand this is an unpopular opinion but hopefully you can see my points and at least take that into consideration.
