Yeah man you lock up a guy like Negan for six years and I bet he's knocking heads first night out and running Alexandria by morning.
Someone on the net said TWD was trying and succeeding in turning Negan to a sympathetic character...
Same guy who took out two main characters by beating them to death with a baseball bat.
One of the best acting jobs I've seen on that show was the episode where Lauren Cohan was talking to Rick on the porch as the sun was going down and she said - It's time to put the children to bed. And then she hung Gregory. Also, when she was going to Alexandria to kill Negan. It's too bad she didn't, because that would actually make sense for the character.
