The Beacon

What was the point of all that?

Good new character, interesting world post explosion, same upgrade in the visuals dept as WD, but what happened in this episode reeked of the same all-over-the-place rudderless mess we've come to expect from this franchise.

Strand going full Idi Amin African power mad murdering dictator?

Enabled by unquestioning entourage who don't mind a bit of impulsive murdering?

Executes a man and no one blinks?

Just not a believable character arch and not one we want or need. Shame to waste a good actor on such poor material. He did his best with what he was given.

New character Will was good, till, he was executed. Thanks for wasting another possible positive for little worthwhile gain.

Do you think this is rewarding entertainment?

The cinematography is at its peak this season with the fabulous colors & lovely directing...

The writing, however, is NOT. So weak. So forced. The dialogue is unrealistic and there's a sense of "you have to be a better person" vibes in every single line uttered.

Overall, better premiere than 401 & 501. But that's not saying much.

This new guy had serious potential to make this show interesting again. As much as I don't like strand, he's more tolerable than morgan but I am starting to lose it with the focus on his character now too. Alycia has been hard done by since Kim dickens left. As an actress she should be mad about that. It should be her show.

How bad has twd franchise become,nuclear bombs everyone's got protective gear 10 years into the apocalypse I thought the world beyond was bad but fear twd has just took on a whole new meaning in senseless story telling.it's about time this shambling monstrosity was but to sleep for it own sake.

Please don't find this not helpful, it's my personal opinion and I don't want to be downvoted just for speaking my opinion.

I think this season premiere is more than average, yes. It features the brilliant Colman Domingo, has great cinematography.

I have to say the pacing is quite off, it can be a bit dull at times and dragging.

As well as characters acting foolish despite the fact they've been in the apocalypse for over 3 years now and should know better.

I give it a 6.5/10.

Not bad but it needs some work!
