I have actually watched a good amount of this show. My biggest problem is that the characters never go beyond just being stereotypes and tropes. There is absolutely no depth that carries over from one episode to the next. That is my biggest gripe. I would place this show as a whole in the 6/10 range for me.
I watched one that sort of throws what you said for a loop. Forgot the name of it, but it has Lori go on a "date" with Clyde to try and make Lincoln and her boyfriend... whatever his name is, jealous. It was actually kind of cute... and there was BLOOD, three of four times.
