Chaos A @Chaosfn Jan 14 🏆85% TWD S9 had a strong start and a decent end. The first half was definitely better, but I still enjoyed the second half. The Bridge arc is probably one of my favorite arcs of the series, and it was easily the highlight. In this arc, we get one of the best episodes of all time, which was of course the episode "WCA," which gives us a perfect conclusion to Rick, and I really wished that was his true conclusion. Of course, he’s still alive, but it would’ve been the perfect conclusion for him if he were dead. When it comes to the Pike scene, I thought it was great, but overrated. I hear many say that the scene is one of the best moments, but I don’t think it even comes close. Still a great scene though, just a little overhyped! EPISODES RANKED: 1. What Come After 2.

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.

This is the revitalization the series desperately needed, proving that there is still life in the old survivors yet.
