    Walking Dead at its BEST!!

    I have no words for this INSANE rollercoaster! Nothing could prepare me for it and I am still prossesing it all! This was everything i could want from this show, mashed together to create an unforgatble experience of PEAK TV!

    The episode already kicks off with an insane first scene, involving Saviors and an RPG! From there... its a domino effect of suspense, thrills, shocks, action and incredible moments of character! With every scene.. I had no idea what to expect! This will make your heartbeat go crazy!

    This was a story people are gonna tell.. the story of how an entire city united and fought the threat of their community, together!!

    Back on form

    'The Walking Dead' was to me one of the best and most addictive shows of the past decade in its prime years. Those prime years being Seasons 1-5. Which is why it angers and saddens me that Seasons 7 and 8 saw such a big decline in quality, to the extent that the show could have passed for something else entirely. One of the biggest declines for any show in my mind, have yet to see Season 9 (will do after reviewing all the episodes in Seasons 1-8) but am really hoping that it's better.

    Found Season 6 to be inconsistent, though quite a lot better than what would come afterwards. Had no problems with how the season began, the first four episodes were brilliant. It was with "Now" where the season started to lose its way, the next two episodes were improvements if not quite returns to form before going backwards again with the dull mid-season finale "Start to Finish". With this second half premiere, the show is back on form and feels re-energised, not once forgetting what it was that made the show so good. To me, "No Way Out" is a contender for the best episode of Season 6, the best of the season up to this point, the best episode since "Thank You" and one of the best 'The Walking Dead' episodes, with jaw dropping tension, surprising developments and emotion that could easily pass for a season finale.

    "No Way Out" as always for 'The Walking Dead' looks top notch. The gritty and audacious production design still remains, photography worthy of a film, suitably frightening make-up and visuals that don't look amateurish in any way and like they were made with heart and effort. The music is haunting and affecting, without being intrusive. The direction is some of the best of the whole of 'The Walking Dead' up to this point, both visually and providing the right amount and kind of drama.

    It is one of the season's best written episodes too, the best written episode since "Here's Not Here" (by quite some way, had issues with the writing in three of the four episodes with the exception being "Heads Up"). The dialogue is taut and thought-provoking, avoiding descending into too much talk in the more dialogue-driven scenes. The characters don't bore or annoy, not behaving like idiots like they did in "Start to Finish" and the interactions between them avoid being overwrought and are instead tense and affecting.

    The story is arresting and has emotional impact, shocks and more tense than the season's tension-laden first three episodes. The ending and the exit of the Andersons are especially powerful. The acting is very, very good with exceptional work from Andrew Lincoln.

    Overall, truly fantastic. 10/10

    Best 43 minutes of TV

    Take a bow Andrew Lincoln, for such brilliant expressions and performance, for the opportunity that I could watch such amazing justice to Rick Grimes. One of the strongest characters of all TV shows, including Walter White and Frank Underwood, your performance is stellar. This episode just weaves all the stories into one with such finesse, the cinematography is just mind blowing, the entire episode will keep you to the edge of your seat, it's nerve wracking and will make your heart skip a beat. This is by far the best episode of TWD and one of the finest of all time TV shows. Just watch it and drown in the amazement.

    A Story that People Are Gonna Tell

    While driving a tank truck back to Alexandria, Daryl, Sasha and Abraham stumble with a group of The Saviors. There is a tense moment resolved by Daryl. Meanwhile Glenn and Enid discuss a mean to rescue Maggie from a platform under siege of the walkers. The Wolves leader and Denise are attacked by walkers while trying to leave Alexandria. Rick, Judith, Jessie, Carl, Sam, Ron Michonne and Gabriel are walking through the walkers and Sam provokes a tragedy in the group. Rick goes nuts and decides to destroy the herd of walkers alone, motivating the Alexandrians to fight to live.

    "No Way Out" is among the best episodes of the whole series. The non- stop action is dramatic and engaging. The poor destiny of Jessie, the heartbreaking fate of Carl and amazing attitudes of the survivors are among the best moments in this show. In addition, Denise finally becomes a doctor and Eugene and the Alexandrians learn how to fight to survive. The return of "The Walking Dead" could not be better! My vote is ten.

    Title (Brazil): "No Way Out"

    Note: On 24 April 2016, I saw this show again.

      There is no reason for Maggie to need help at the top of wall. Once Enid reaches her, it is clear that Maggie simply could have stepped on to the platform built into the wall that Enid is on.

      Gang Leader: If you have to eat shit, best not to nibble. Bite, chew, swallow, repeat. It goes quicker.
