If you decide to skip these episodes, you won't miss out on anything, seriously.

We all know that The Walking Dead didn't always serve up exciting and gripping episodes. Every now and then, they threw in some episodes that turned out to be kind of boring, uninteresting, and honestly, not worth watching.

Here are five episodes that you can easily skip during a binge session.

Swear (Season 7, Episode 6)

Alanna Masterson shined as Tara, and many fans love her character, but this episode is often called a train wreck. While it tried to introduce Oceanside and bid goodbye to Heath, the execution was clumsy at best.

And while Tara is an interesting character, an entire episode spotlighting her felt like a misstep, especially when it wasn’t even her best showcase.

Go Getters (Season 7, Episode 5)

Remember when Maggie and Sasha finally made it to Hilltop? For a lot of fans, this one's memorable for all the wrong reasons. It was criticized as a filler episode. It was TWD's way of saying, "we're just killing time here."

With several characters planning to kill Negan solo, the episode also felt ridiculous.

Monsters (Season 8, Episode 3)

Ever feel like you've been promised a 5-course meal but got served a salad? Monsters kinda felt that way. It had Rick, his crew, and Ezekiel's squad going toe-to-toe with the Saviors.

And while the scene of Morales’ return was a shocker, the episode reeked of the season's repetitive storytelling. Fans began to sense that the hyped-up all-out war was overhyped.

Splinter (Season 10, Episode 20)

Princess is a great character, and Paola Lázaro absolutely nailed it. But Splinter put her front and center in a dialogue-heavy, action-lite scenario that had many fans checking their watches. While we get deep into Princess’s background, the episode’s pacing made it hard to stay engaged.

Diverged (Season 10, Episode 21)

Daryl and Carol have been our ride-or-die pair for so long, but this episode, which shows them taking separate paths, felt like a wasted opportunity. It added little to their already tense relationship. And let's be real — no one signed up to watch Carol make soup for nearly half the episode's runtime.
