The Kingdom used to get by being extorted by the Saviors. So that was never clear about their food situation. It seemed to be like Oceanside was the place that would suffer the seasons the most.
It was very uneven season. The build up to Rick's exit felt like that, a build up. The new arrivals threw the show off for a while, as did Michonne being a jerk after the time jump (the flashback episode revealing why was a bit absurd....that her old friend not only survived years into the apocalypse but shows up in Alexandria!). Did anyone care about Gabriel's love life? Precocious Judith teetered on silliness. Alpha's flashback origin was bad...thankfully her character does feel threatening now. Enid and Tara felt like such bit players that it seems less surprising they got the axe after the fact. Henry's arc was sort of a clever fake out yet also investment in a doomed character that replaced a character that should be alive (Carl).
Post-Lincoln, Reedus and McBride carried it. Payton did okay, but got saddled with being the jealous husband in the finale.
