'The Walking Dead' Season 7 has been one of the most violent season of the show so far. With multiple gruesome deaths in the books, the complaints from several fans keep on coming.

Recently, 'The Walking Dead' star Andrew Lincoln spoke about the fans reaction towards the show so far, stating he's unhappy with the complaints. In an interview with The Wrap, Lincoln revealed how he truly feels, saying:

"Obviously I've heard that people are not happy and that makes me unhappy because of the amount of work we all put into the show. There is a sense of a bigger story that's being told and I have absolute faith in Scott [Gimple], the writing team, and the producers of the show. But I will say that I think the back eight are the exact opposite of the front eight." While these complaints are nothing to worry about since the show is still the number one television series to date, the continuous whining from some fans are taking a toll on others.

According to a recent report by Moviefone, one fan took to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and reported the show for its violence. Apparently, some fans aren't pleased with the amount of bloodshed despite the show being about the end of the world.

The Daily Dot managed to get the complaint from a Minnesota-based fan who wrote: "This would have been rated R or NC-17 in the theater. You don't show ISIS beheading people on TV, nor should you allow someone to be beaten with a barbed-wire baseball bat."

However, this is not the only complaint the show has received. Another "fan" from Virginia also compared the show to ISIS in a somewhat similar statement saying, "The last episode of season 6 and the latest episode of season 7 made me very anxious and sick to my stomach. Watching ISIS behead someone isn't as horrible as watching this tv show."

It seems like some of the viewers are forgetting "The Walking Dead" is a fictional television show, with fictional characters, special effects, squeaky rubber props and filmed on the set. Sure, the show's seventh season brought forth some major upsetting events and storyline, but it is nowhere near what the ISIS has done.


Do you think The Walking Dead deserve these complaints?
