Is anyone still watching this show?

If you're not caught up, there be spoilers below...
What do you think of the brave new world of the Sanctuary, Alexandria, Hilltop, and Oceanside? I get confused about where each of these places is, which place the characters are in at any given time, and who belongs where. I liked it better when the core group resided in a single place. This is just confusing.
What do you think of Maggie's leadership so far? I don't get why she didn't kill Gregory with own knife when she found out he'd been trying to kill her. Isn't that vastly more satisfying (for her and us) and less politically problematic than a public hanging? Also, I don't get how the Hilltop is suddenly "her people," versus those who live at Alexandria (where she used to live and where Judith is) or any of the other locations. Sharing food among all of them should be part of this new culture. I get that the Sanctuary still has a lot of Negan's people and she doesn't like or trust them, but the implication seemed to be she wouldn't share with anyone outside Hilltop without making a trade.
Rick's new look? Better.
Daryl's old look? Yuck. I was hoping he'd get a makeover that involved a shave and haircut, or at least a bath. He looks like he smells disgusting. Also, Daryl said more in the first half-hour of the first episode of this season that he did all last season. But if they're grooming him to take over for Rick when they kill him off, they'll finally lose me as a fan. There was a time when I loved Daryl but that time has long passed.
Carol looks cute, and I love her new romantic relationship. So smoochie.
Anyone else have thoughts on the first couple of eps?
