Based on the comic book series written by Robert Kirkman, this gritty drama portrays life in the months and years that follow a zombie apocalypse. A group of survivors travel in search of safety and security, constantly on the move in search of a secure home. But the pressure each day to stay alive sends many in the group to the deepest depths of human cruelty, and they soon discover that the overwhelming fear of the survivors can be more deadly than the zombies walking among them. At times, the interpersonal conflicts present a greater threat to their continuing survival than the walkers that roam the country.

Eric Deggans NPR Nov 26, 2019
They also have finally, in the most stomach churning, emotional way, ratcheted up the brutality of the TV series to match the brutality of the graphic novel which inspired the show. Go to Full Review Kelly Lawler USA Today Oct 21, 2017
If AMC wants The Walking Dead to last for years to come, as its producers say, it needs to kill Negan, and quickly. And it needs to learn from the mistakes it made during his seemingly endless tenure on the series. Go to Full Review Luke Holland Guardian Nov 29, 2016
It can be dull, or miserable, but not both -- and definitely not for this long. Go to Full Review David Hogan hoganreviews.co.uk Aug 30, 2021
3/5
This season is all about the opening episode, once you get past that it's downhill and has a lot of stalling before it comes to a rather obvious conclusion to set up Season 8. Go to Full Review Fausto Ponce Alta Fidelidad Magazine Apr 28, 2021
This entire seventh season was just the preamble to a great war. In my opinion, it was not necessary, and it was quite boring. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Kelechi Ehenulo Confessions From A Geek Mind Jul 16, 2020

The Walking Dead is an event series that has no fear of cancellation but the dip in quality shows. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Victor G @RT61657720 Oct 15, 2026 The first 7x1 episode is perfect, the best thing ever made, but the rest of the season loses its way by dragging on too much.

I don’t think this is a bad season, but it’s definitely not great. "Swear" is straight up one of the worst episodes from any series I’ve ever seen; it’s shockingly terrible. But "TDWCWYWB" is one of the best episodes of all time and is for sure the best of the series. This season had both the worst episode and best episode so far. This season is very inconsistent, and the only positive I can really give about this season is Negan. It’s sad that he’s the only true highlight of the season. An antagonist as amazing as him definitely deserves to be in a season better than this! EPISODES RANKED: 1. The Day Will Come When You Won’t Be 2. Hearts Still Beating 3.
