La Gentillesse des Étrangers

Welcome back melissa!! Thank you for bringing me back to the Walking Dead Universe. Spin off!? The book of carol is the best yet!! The pace was perfect, the action, the comedy, the chemistry between ash and carol. Seeing Carol still grieving her daughter and going through the emotions brought tears to my eyes. Give Melissa more power, she knows what she's doing and she knows what we want. I'm really satisfied.

Yeah norman is playing himself, daryl is no where to be found on my screen, and its sad. He took 10 step back in his growth. Very OOC and too much like norman. Start hiding the tattoos.

Great introduction episode, with some great intros to new characters. But i loved how the writers are immediately tapping into Daryl and Carol's unsolved grief and how they need each other.

This is arguably the biggest platonic relationship in TV history so i love to see their magnetic friendship

The dialogue is a lot better than last season. Loved some of the stunts and they brought back some of the suspense I had been missing. Really looking forward to this season.

The production design and stunts already feel refreshed from last season. Love seeing Melissa and Norman get producer credits. The France setting really gives the show a fish out of water feel that we haven't had in TWD. Overall this series proves that there's still a lot of life and untapped potential in The Walking Dead universe.

As a fan of the first season, I thought this was a decent but not too strong premiere. I'm mixed about Carol lying being necessary, there's certainly a few glaring contrivances, the structuring is a little choppy, I'm not a fan of the flashbacks, and I didn't think the visuals quite held up to the first season's. However, I still appreciate the more gradual pace of this show, Ash seems likeable, and (like the first season) the zombies are executed with a lot more urgency here than other TWD shows. Their designs are freaky and they actually seem like they're fighting to eat their prey, so major props to Nicoreto and the french zombie actors for that. In knowing how the first season came together for a great finale, I'm optimistic for the remaining episodes of the season.

A much better start than s1 , adding Melissa to the show will greatly improve the level.

As usual, Melissa is able to completely steal the camera in every scene due to her tremendous acting ability her eyes can act alone without anybwords she is the best to do this from the flagshow till this moment.

Ash and Carol oh my God, they are a very good duo they are really great together , I hope Ash can do it to the end he is a very good friend of Carol and a nice actor

Returning to the events of sophia delayed a lot but here we are now, Carol hasn't processed her loss and it's time to deal with this.

Great ep.

Wow what an episode! First let me say how much I love having Carol back, she was severely missed in the first season. I enjoyed season 1 overall, but things can only get better when you add the talents of Melissa McBride into the mix. And man did she deliver this episode. Lots of the great, clever action moments we have come to expect from Carol, mixed in with some quietly devastating ones as well. She just owned the entire episode. And I think we have a great new duo with Carol and Ash! I found their dynamic so interesting and I really can't wait to see where their storyline goes.

Not too much was happening with Daryl in France but I'm sure that will pick up next episode. It was expected that Carol's story is the more intriguing one now because we want to know what's going on with her and how she'll get to France. I'm really excited to see her get there, but I'll definitely enjoy her journey there just as much. I'm sure when the Carol and Daryl reunion happens it will be well earned! Overall it was such a strong start to the season and I'm beyond excited for what's to come!
