What We

Episode 4, "What we" this episode is the slowest of the episodes up until this point and that is by no means bad it's just an episode that explores the relationship between Rick and michonne it's definitely the most emotional episode of the season, it does have some awesome action sequences. This episode is definitely setting up for 2 explosive last episodes and I think this season is gonna end with one hell of a bang. Awesome episode, good to see the series take some time to explore both Rick and michonne, the only thing we haven't really gotten in the show, and thats freaking awesome, i cant stop saying this but the ones who live is some of the best twd we have ever gotten.

This Episode was fantastic, emotional, real, exciting, I have been a fan of the show for many years but there has never been an episode which has pulled on my heart strings such as the episode tonight

The Acting from Danai and Andrew might be some of the best the show has seen to date! The raw emotion that Rick and Michonne had made me feel as if I was there and had a personal connection to the story! Characters I have watched since 2011 brought up again dead or alive hit home for me. So excited for what's to come and I can only hope that the story will continue after this season as the walking dead universe cannot exist without these two!

Fantastic Episode.

Both Andrew Lincoln as Rick and Danai Gurira as Michonne stood on their heads to give us some of the best, if not their best acting of any episode of not only The Ones Who Live itself, but The Walking Dead as a whole.

This touching episode gave the main characters the depth that this series needed. For the first time in a long time, I don't care that an episode from the TWD universe had a slow pace, because they used it to their advantage.

I'm glad that the focus was only on Rick and Michonne, because in the end, it's about them. I'm glad that we're not trying to expand the universe by force here, giving the other characters "equal" opportunities relative to screen time. They don't get it, because they should appear only when they are necessary, as they are only background and complement the picture depicting a couple in love with each other, the heart of this universe.

My rating for the episode is actually 9/10, but I add +1 for the fact that this episode hits differently by the fact that Danai Gurira wrote it. She wrote, she directed, she played a role.... This episode was based on dialogue and you have to admit, Danai can write dialogue, oh she can.

And now... please let Jadis off the leash, let her catch them at any cost ;).

Remember those peak old days when Walking Dead use to be a literal emotion for all of us. Oh boy this was ×10 of that. It made me cry, just like Sophia coming out of that barn made me cry. Just like Hershel dying made my cry. Just like Negan smashing Glenn's head made me cry. And yes of course Just like every time Daryl cries, it makes us cry too. This was peak #TWD.

Oh Rick & Michonne (Andy Lincoln & Danai Gurira) you're crazy crazy actor's. You both are just so much powerful together that it makes me say hell yeah.

This is the best episode of an already great season. My God this was epic....

I don't write reviews neither do i know how to write one so yes this is for my favourite show on the planet. Thank you The Walking Dead....

"What We" is the fourth episode which follows Rick and Michonne after she throws them off a helicopter into the ocean. With the episode's premise: Rick and Michonne try to find the love they had. You know this episode is all about these characters, it extends beyond the writing and acting, thanks to the visual storytelling which the director and cinematographer succeeds with in this episode, making it grounded and character driven. The screenplay and writing is excellent, realistic and just heartful. The first fifteen minutes or so is simply these two characters, talking, arguing and acting like three dimensional characters who have both changed a lot with Rick Grimes having changed the most. Then the episode goes into a more action driven route with some great sequences of suspenseful zombie scenes with tension through these two characters, before going back to a slower pacing. The pacing is perfect and it remains character driven from start to finish, about these two characters. Andrew Lincoln and Danai Gurira.

This week's episode of TWD: The Ones Who Live "What We" was directed by Michael Slovis and written by Danai Gurira, the direction and visual storytelling were excellent, and with the writing I had looked forward to Danai's script as it had been hyped for a long time. The screenplay for "What We" was incredible! Back to the direction and visual storytelling, Michael Slovis who has directed the previous episode, handles every scene with perfection and makes sure there are brilliant shots as well as the actors are doing their finest work, which they are. Andrew Lincoln pulls an award worthy performance in this episode, so raw and emotional. Danai Gurira is also terrific in this episode, if it wouldn't be how heavy the episode and the screenplay leans into making Rick more hopeful, I would say her performance would be as great! The screenplay, written by Danai herself, focuses on this duo and the amount of character development which came out of this episode just shows how talented she is at writing dialogue and set pieces. When dialogue is written by someone who knows these two characters, it can't be bad, it can only be good and in this case quite great.

The production design and art direction is terrific, so is the mise-en-scene and cinematography for the show. The musical score is something I haven't commented about but it's spectacular. The increased budget makes for better production design and visual effects, overall making a better show in every department along with the actors. The prior episodes were high budget with some terrific visuals to meet our expectations of the CRM, this episode has solely two characters whom have interacted but not as much as we would want, thus not breaking the immersion with the story the writers are trying to tell. It's in this episode which Michonne opens up to Rick, information which needed the right moment and I'm so glad they did it this way. Totally the right way. In the previous episode we got information from the art guy (who makes the pictures on the phone) how Rick had forgotten what Carl looked like and that is so realistic. With everything Rick had been through, all the trauma suffered, he had forgotten what his son looked like. That's heartbreaking to hear and in this episode he tells her that, it's brilliantly written and acted with perfection. Yet, it got a little bit repetitive because of the same sets, that's my small criticism. This episode contains some of the best acting and writing in the show, yet it's so small compared to other episodes, but it still has everything you love with The Walking Dead. It's hard to rate though, but for a show about these two beloved characters, this episode was done brilliantly.
