Yeah I think it kind of doesn’t fit too well into the long TV format because you have to have a sort of base-under-siege type of story (like all the Romero movies), a kind of survival road-trip or a globe spanning thing like World War Z (the book I mean lol). Changing locations constantly is pretty expensive for TV, and having a base under siege for 8+ seasons is boring, so you always end up with this thing where the group finds a shelter, stays there for the whole season, then it all blows up and they move onto the next one. Which you could probably get away with for a bit but over 12 seasons like Walking Dead is definitely starts to drag.
