The Walking Dead: Dead City

You'd expect New York to be really really dangerous. Well, it is, but maybe because the characters are stupid and not because of the zombies. It's been over 15 years since the outbreak and a character just stands in front of a glass door that's clearly giving in and simply dies when the walkers come in? Come on... even on the first TWD season people wouldn't die in such ridiculous ways. Couldn't they figure out a better way to kill characters off? The writing feels somewhat poor in that matter and also on some dialogs. I noticed mostly on the first episode, where there wasn't that much action, the conversations between Maggie and Negan felt very off.

Not all is bad, until now, every episode was better then the one before. The action scenes are cool, there's enough suspense, the cinematography is really good and the characters are interesting, I don't even notice the 40 minutes passing by. If you ignore the annoying stupid writing decisions I mentioned before, it's a really fun show to watch, i'd give it an 8 or 9 out of 10 if it wasn't for them.

If you're a TWD universe fan, you should definitely watch it. Even if you didn't finish The Walking Dead, if you know Negan that's enough.

The Walking Dead: Dead City was so much better than I expected. I've watched everything from the Walking Dead Universe, the good like The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead (some seasons at least), to the mediocre like Tales of the Walking Dead, to the downright awful like The Walking Dead: World Beyond. I've seen them all and this is one of the good ones. It's not as good as the early seasons of The Walking Dead or early Fear the Walking Dead but it's right below that. Everyone loves both of the lead characters in Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and they are as good as ever here. Jeffrey Dean Morgan is especially great as Negan. He's perfect for this role and the arc that Negan has gone through has been as good as any character on tv in a while. He went from one of the worst bad guys on a show to a guy you root for. Can't wait for next season!

I hated season 1 but I am so glad I stuck around for season 2. So much fun, and a fresh take on a The Walking Dead spin off. Great and original characters that I felt genuine emotions for. My brother and I had a great time watching it and looked forward to each episode. Fingers crossed for renewal.

(Only criticism for season 2 (I have many for season 1) is that sometimes the set design, although at times very creative and well shot, was a little empty. I think they should spend a bit more time on adding juxtaposition, colour, and depth to the sets. Despite the set design, a lot of the shots (although a little basic), energetic acting, and amazing costume design, gave life to the scenes).

I have watched both THE WALKING DEAD and FEAR THE WALKING DEAD. Back then, i was a big fan of tv shows with zombies. FEAR became a joke after the ending of third season. TWD was great most of the time, it regressed a lot during the last seasons though. DEAD CITY is not bad, they really tried to create something different, less cringey, more intense and "natural". Less awkward moments, a bit more action. To be honest, maybe i got tired with this genre, maybe my rating is kinda unfair and it deserved more. In any case, i didn't find it that interesting. Pace was good in each episode, still i couldn't binge-watch it or watch it in a short period of time. Just for curiosity i watched recently the last episode, i didn't care much about the fate of the characters. Dean Morgan is still charismatic though, Ivanek is always good in tv shows and Cohan gave a good performance. Not many things i count as flaws here, i said that they really tried. It just was not exciting enough to make me invest. They should take more risks i think.

I am gonna watch both the second season and DARYL DIXON. Of course, my expectations are low. I don't even know if there is a way to make it more interesting. A world with zombies has its limitations after so many years.

Just watched episode 1. The show and pairing makes little sense but ANC does a solid job with casting and getting talented actors, possibly second only to HBO. That stated, there are a lot of holes in the story so far when paired with the end of TWD, but that show was hard to get through (at least the last 3 seasons). I thought after a break from that show it might be a decent time to start up a spin off. Hopefully this picks up a little. The scenery and sets are solid, so it feels like they did put some decent money behind the show. People giving this at 10? Come on. How do you compare it to the greatest shows ever and believe this series is on the same level? If that's you think before you start handing out more 10/10's in the future - please.
