Chaos A @Chaosfn Jan 14 🏆81% This might just be the most overhated season. I agree that it’s definitely not as good as Seasons 4, 5, and 6. But it’s still pretty good. The first half of the season was kinda meh, that second half was great, and that finale was amazing. I hear many compare this to Season 7, but I personally think this is a big upgrade from Season 7. The most controversial thing about this season is by far Carl’s death. Which makes sense, Carl wasn’t ever supposed to die, but once you reach the finale, everything starts to make sense. Even though I still don’t like that they killed him off, I think the execution of it was pretty good, and it made the finale even more impactful and emotional! EPISODES RANKED: 1. Wrath 2. Honor 3.

Dead or Alive Or 15. Time for After 16. The King, the Widow, and Rick See more Blue Bird Jan 9 Terrible writing, They threw out survival instincts & Survival law and Common sense just to add drama to the show, the worst is episode 13 , leaving doors open at night, not tieing down sick people or locking them in, No one awake at night guarding over the sleeping families and so the sick people die and become zombies with no one to notice and stop them before anything happens or the zombies would just be stuck inside the medical trailer. Then you have no one guarding outside and no one guarding the prisoners so a kid can steal a gun and walk right up to the prisoners and somehow have key to Unlock the prison door. Honestly it took me out of the show and I've had to pause so many times from second hand cringe, like none of it makes sense, it's just bad writing and so it doesn't work as a story.

See more Jae H @JHReviews Nov 10 The Walking Dead was honestly a phenomenon when it first came to our screens. I’d never seen anything like it, and as a teenager at the time, I was completely engrossed, truly invested in the characters brought before our eyes. It felt real, grounded, and it made us question how far someone would go to survive. It really was a brilliant post-apocalyptic zombie story and series. At its best, it felt like an event, ending on major, exciting cliff-hangers, developing iconic characters, and keeping you on the edge of your seat. There was always anxiety over who might go next. The show was brave, unafraid to make bold choices and test the audience. Rick Grimes truly carried this show on his back. He was the face of The Walking Dead, brought to life iconically by Andrew Lincoln. The show was stacked with talent and often written so well that you cared deeply for each character’s story. Now, most of this praise applies to the first half of the series, where it truly thrived. From Seasons 1 to 7, The Walking Dead was near its best. After that, I became frustrated by certain story and character choices. There were simply too many characters, too many subplots. The show began to feel more like a soap opera. The zombies, once terrifying and central, faded into the background, merely reminders of what the show used to be. It felt like the show was holding onto something that no longer worked through the latter part of the series until internal changes were made. Though I did check out after Season 9. I eventually returned, but mostly out of loyalty rather than excitement. That said, The Walking Dead still gave us some of the best storytelling ever seen on TV, with brilliant villains and unforgettable arcs inspired by its comic roots. The early seasons remain a masterpiece of suspense, emotion, and humanity. It’s a show I both love and dislike, but those early years still bring me joy, nostalgia, and yes… a little trauma.

The season is packed with action, but it's the emotional weight of a painful, major character death that gives it its anchor. The interactions between Negan and Rick are top-tier, reminding viewers of the fantastic chemistry between these two formidable foes.
