The Walking Dead: Dead City

I need to start by saying I'm a big fan of The Walking Dead, the entire universe for that matter but especially the original. Having said that I still had my concerns for The Walking Dead: Dead City considering the last few seasons of the original were not as good. Well, I couldn't be more excited to be wrong because this was excellent. It reminded me of why I fell in love well this franchise to begin with. Jeffery Dean Morgan and Lauren Cohan were as terrific as always as Negan and Maggie. I wasn't worried about that because they're both great actors, it's the writing that I was worried about and it's the writing that surprised me by how good it was. I'm glad the it was renewed for a third season and I'll be looking forward to it.

This show is so good! I love the way they keep coming up ways to use Negan. There is the same suspense and thrill that I love about all of the Walking Dead shows. I just want more episodes- the seasons are too short. I can't wait for the next episode. There is also the ongoing tension between Maggie and Negan . And Maggie's son and his character development are in this season too. I hope they keep making more episodes and seasons. The writing is very creative. Maybe they can even make another spin off series! Great acting and directing too. Can't wait to see what else is to come for the walking Dead series!

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.

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.

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!
