Madison in FTWD was always a complete mystery to me. I am still surprised they did not have her telling her children to put on sweaters before going out (season1). The whole show is a complete waste. Here it is at the end, and they accomplished exactly NOTHING.
The writers are terrible. They had/have no idea where they're going with the story. They never did. We saw this in the first season. There was so much potential for making a great story in a whole new setting but it's like the writers went out of their way to botch the whole thing from the start. They gave us pathetic, unappealing main characters that were impossible to root for. They also failed to show the collapse of Los Angeles, and the world in general. They were ungodly cheap with the filming budget despite being a spinoff of the network (and cable) leading show, so obviously there was money there. The story had absolutely no impetus or movement despite occasional moments of "action". As you said, they accomplished absolutely nothing.
The producers of this crap are nothing but cynical hacks. They ignored the fact that the show was a turd for as long as they could and now they're scrambling to save it. This gambit won't work. Viewers aren't that dumb. When has killing off the entire original cast of a show ever worked?
