Maggie and Negan travel into a post-apocalyptic Manhattan long ago cut off from the mainland; the crumbling city is filled with the dead and denizens who have made New York City their own world full of anarchy, danger, beauty and terror.

It’s simply not as much fun watching two characters who want to exit the scenario they’re in, versus the desperate siege on the mysterious, broken city to rescue Hershel from Season 1.

The Walking Dead: Dead City doesn’t really give the Walking Dead franchise anything new to examine.

Ten years ago, Morgan brought scads of charisma and menace to the role. A decade later, the franchise has wrung it all out of him. He hung on too long. Now it feels like he’s trapped in the character.

3.5/5

While it gets a little bogged down with too many characters, and sometimes prioritizes ambitious action sequences over cohesive storytelling, there's plenty here to enjoy...

7/10

Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Lauren Cohen make the writer's job easy as they consistently deliver within Negan and Maggie, making Season 2 well worthy of a watch.

6/10

There are still exciting moments here and there, but the most interesting part is just how much of a contrarian punk Hershel's become.

I get that you're not supposed to like all characters, but so many are SO unlikable. To the point where it's impossible to swallow that seemingly decent people just go along with them. Cartoonishly bad characters that exude how untrustworthy they are. Transparently duplicitous. Zombies now just loiter? Kind of hang about in cages... patiently? Coordinated zombie attacks where certain ones aren't looking to eat you, but hold you in place for others to eat? Silly, stupid, poorly thought out scenarios that are more interested in the result than if it's logical in its steps to get there. None of these characters are believable because not even the zombies have conviction of their actions. This is trash, expensive and gory trash.

Season 2 starter off well the last 2 episodes all over the place, Maggie's son what he like, she just keeps forgiving him even after he sets her up to be captured, you really don't need you're child to ditch you up. hope season 3 will be a good recovery

I'm sorry, but what's the Emoji for 'BEATING A DE@D HORSE' -or- 'TRYING TO GET BL00D FROM A STONE' ?

This show shouldn’t exist, there’s no non-contrived reason Maggie needs to keep associating with Negan at this point. If they didn’t want to kill Negan off, he should have gotten a show of his own. This storyline is milked to death.
