The guy playing Negan is spectacular- it's an over-the-top character, and he's completely believable.
The Glenn killing was almost cartoonish (see what I did there?). When Negan said "dude, I HIT YOU SO HARD YOUR EYEBALL IS HANGING OUT" to call attention to the effect, the show jumped the gore shark. You just know that at some meeting, the producers are now saying "OK, we showed Glenn's eyeball hanging out, how are we gonna top THAT?"
And yeah, Rick's an idiot. Picking a fight with the Saviors before he knew anything about how powerful they were was dumb (it was almost funny how they wiped out that outpost and thought they'd killed off the whole group), but threatening Negan after he'd quite clearly established who had the upper hand was almost insane in its stupidity.
However, equally stupid is Negan's questionable policy of murdering a member of every group the Saviors takes in. I suppose his theory is leadership by intimidation, but that's only going to get you so far when everyone in your group has a reason to hate you. I'm imagining this will be Negan's eventual undoing.
