Well, I'm liking things "post-Rick" including:
Things I didn't like that much:
That's all I can think of right now, but my likes outweigh the dislikes, so I'm still with the show. I think the time jumps have reinvigorated the show. We'll see how far the jump takes it.

First and foremost, little bad ass Judith, but with a soft heart for strays.
The strays (new people). I find them really interesting, especially the ex-convict gal, Magna (Nadia Hilker), partly due to her mysteriousness, partly due to her hotness.
Carol with the long hair, seemingly more benign but now proved not to be after her torching of the remaining "Saviors" which was pretty damn awesome.
The reveal that Rick and Michonne had a son together. Interesting.
I know the showrunners and certain actors have mentioned that the show in S9 is like a Western and the reveal of the rebuilding of Alexandria (after the Saviors destroyed part of it) made it look a lot like a town out of an old TV Western.
Daryl living out in the wilderness, kind of separating himself from the communities, living off the land, and killing the odd Walker.
Eugene having evolved into an unafraid Walker killer. Love that.

Michonne being such sour ass. I know she's been through a lot but it's been six years since Rick (as far as she knows) bit the big one and she's still bitter? What happened to all the "carrying on Rick and Carl's dream" of getting along with people. I know she doesn't trust because she thinks that all that dreaming is what got Rick "killed" but...get over it! Just my opinion.
Gabriel and Rosita being a couple. When did Gabriel become such a player?
