A vicious death would have been a good pallete cleanse and we would have been invested to see how Rick gets revenge/they deal with it because ultimately after all these years these are 'our' family too.

Instead, we start with an 'oh, that's who died' because all that tension built in within the show for the show was wasted; when it comes back the impact of the death is going to feel like a spoiler you read on social media then something built up to since we are going to be six months removed from all that build up.

A cliffhanger like that can work on tv if its a major change in the status quo and they are trying to clear the slate for next season. Unfortunately like Damali mentioned above they made it a point to already set the theme for at least the first couple of upcoming episodes.
