it’s only like a month long wait. if we’re getting like 1 season per year let’s say, i’d rather have the snow stretch out over a longer period of time so i can interact with the community & build hype more between episodes. though that’s less important with a show based on comics. either way it’s not too long. everyone’s waited longer before
It could be that due to the writers strikes Amazon has less content to release, so they’re spreading what they do have out more.
In October Kirkman said they were still polishing up the second season, so I’m guessing the final episodes weren’t finished.
