    They're back better than ever.

    This was honestly surprising on how good this pilot was. The 6 years wait was very very worth it for this moment. It takes it's time to get it going but there was never a dull moment. I love how this first episode was entirely on Rick's perspective and the second one focuses on Michonne. This pilot is very promising and I hope it continues to impress me and is consistent with it's writing.

    Andrew Lincoln puts on an amazing performance along with his co-actor who played Okafor. It's insane how this man doesn't have more roles in his filmography. The pacing of this episode was really good and I love the route they're going with Rick. His struggles and decisions coming up to him and eating him inside. I really don't have anything more to say but this was really really good. This was the first time in years I have been this excited for a tv show.

    TWD IS BACK

    I decided to start this before watching either of the other spinoffs and WE ARE SO BACK This was one of the best episodes of the walking dead and exceeded all expectations. The walking dead usually always has the best cliffhangers but the one on this episode is on a whole other level. I can't even write a proper review I'm so happy and satisfied with what I've just watched. If you have watched up to s9 ep5 of twd you need to watch this because it is so satisfying as someone who loves the show and dragged themselves through all 11 seasons through good and through bad. Scott Gimple is cooking with this show and I can't wait for next episodes.

    Great Start

    The Acting of The Shows Star Is incredible.

    I never expected these things to happen. Great Start After So many Years. I thought it would be Normal start but it was Not!!

    The Okafors sound and acting was great. Elizabeth(From TWD:Daryl Dixon)And Okafor are one of the best characters After years in this Universe.

    I can't wait For next Episodes.

    Another thing is about The Starting of this Universe. They do it excellent. For The main show and for the All Spin-offs.

    This show and the character of Rick Grimes Has the potential For blowing Up and even saving the Universe.

    Amc needs to Care about this show or even the Next season. And please Amc be careful about The Spoilers.

    I believe in This Show.

    Keep going guys.

    Well done.

    Andrew Lincoln deserves an Emmy.

    The Ones Who Live exceeded my expectations.

    After half a decade, Andrew Lincoln is finally the main protagonist of TWD again.

    His performance was absolutely sensational, he is a brilliant underrated actor.

    The cinematography was beautiful, it didn't even feel like I was watching something apart of The Walking Dead Universe.

    The dialogue and the story is done so well, making this episode EASILY the best premiere of TWD.

    Almost granted me tears to my eyes watching this masterpiece of a return.

    The Walking Dead is nothing without Rick, but he's finally back, and better than ever!

    I can't wait for the rest of this series, thank you Andrew Lincoln for a breathtaking performance.

    Rick Grimes Is Back....

    And boy was it worth the wait.

    Rick Grimes was mysteriously flown away in a helicopter early in Season 9 of The Walking Dead and fans have been waiting 5 years to find out where he's been. Rick's wife, Michonne. Also exited the series, leaving to search for her missing husband in Season 10. The two both made a brief cameo re-appearance in the closing moments of the Series Finale to set up this new show.

    Now that leads us to this, The Ones Who Live. Originally intended as a trilogy of movies, Scott Gimple, Andrew Lincoln, and Danai Gurira have worked away to ensure that we get the resolution to Rick and Michonne's Stories, without sacrificing quality.

    The series has 4x the budget of the final season of the flagship show but only a quarter of the amount of episodes. We can be sure that this will give the series an epic scale and action-packed eventful vibe. Episode 1 proves this right away with it's beautiful appearance and efficient storytelling of Rick's past and current state.

    If Episode 2-6 continues to build with the same quality of 'Years', then we've got the best walking dead spin-off to date and a very satisfying epilogue for 2 of the most iconic characters in television.

      At least one of the iPhones Rick is seen with is at the earliest an iPhone 6, when they introduced rocker buttons for volume instead of the + and - buttons. iPhone 6 was introduced in 2014, four years after the zombie apocalypse started.
