Is season 9 any good?

I know the writing was embarrassing to the point where even the action couldn't save it. For example, when (spoiler) Hilltop and Kingdom come to rescue Alexandria from The Saviors and The Scavengers it was just too cringey to enjoy. It's like they took it directly from the comics, which doesn't translate well at all. There was no flow to it like Negan should have stopped talking but his dialogue just kept going with shit like "He has a tiger! Ahh! Ahh! The widow is alive, guns-a-blazing!"

Also, I don't remember much action at all. I just remember watching it every week, getting excited by the previews (e.g. Morgan knocking the long haired Savior down with his stick because they were short a melon or something), and then it ending in 10 seconds. Rinse and repeat for 2 years. Maybe if I could binge it, it would be a lot more bearable but waiting weeks and months for nothing to happen was driving me insane.
