The first hour of the movie consists of characters talking about nothing while the radio plays in the background describing the war. Both are at the same volume so you can't understand either. The next hour is a masterclass of 'tell don't show.' The characters just sit around and cry and cough for the rest of the movie, while some text appears on screen every five seconds that says what's going on. Like, "radiation causes the following symptoms...," but you never see any of those symptoms. This movie was just so boring through and through. The first half was incomprehensible and the second half nothing happened.

I'm liking the show overall so far because I really like Daryl. But I feel like this episode and the previous one have the same problem. Both episodes have a community that seems just completely illogical to exist in the apocalypse. In the previous episode there was a pre-school who somehow survived. This episode has a nightclub with electricity and everything powering lights and mics in the catacombs beneath Paris. How does a preschooler fight off a zombie? How does a community survive in the middle of Paris? How do they get food? How are they getting water? It makes the zombies seem very trivialized. Like these pre-schoolers have survived. These people are surviving so easily that they are running a nightclub. There's a dude who made a zombie orchestra...Like it really trivializes the struggles that Rick's group went through. If a pre-schooler can survive so easily, why couldn't the characters in the walking dead? Overall I'm liking Daryl and his relationship with the female lead and the kid, but I wish the writers would think more about how these communities can exist in the walking dead universe.
