Mercy

After a 6 month you just wait something to start happening but it is not and Negan stood on the point blank just like a sitting duck, come on. The swarm of the zombies are on the reach of the hand every time you need them. This is a just worst screenplay ever, thank you,thank you again. I hope that is someone in the world that after 7 seasons feels just the same way as me. Oohh I see now there is a rule by IMDb that for a review you have to write minimun of 5 lines but there is no much to write about it only that this episode is not good at all and I lost hope that it ever get better

The show keeps getting more and more awful.

The characters are bland. Pointless camera panning to nothingness. Weak writing.

Contrived story lines, minimal material, lazy directing are the hallmark of this episode.

Nothing happens. Pathetic display.

I can forgive TWD's writers for not killing Negan yet, but at least put the main characters in a situation in which they can't kill Negan, rather than in a situation in which they can but don't. It's almost common sense to do that, rather than have about 20 people armed with machine guns not do anything at all while they stand in front of their greatest enemy, who is unarmed.

Did the episode ever explain why they wasted so much ammo shooting at windows? They could have easily killed Negan, but they chose to shoot at windows instead.

The only reason I'm giving this a 7.5 out of 10 is because it was a well shot, enjoyable episode (for the most part), with some good scenes. "Mercy" isn't a bad episode, but the writing just feels a bit lazy.

My enjoyment of "The Walking Dead" has waned sufficiently to make me wonder whether I should still call myself a fan of the show; it was sometime during Season 6 when I really began watching simply to see if it would get better. With that said, I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy last night's premiere of Season 8.

I'd rate it an 8 out of 10 for its creators' wise reliance on fan service to salvage a weary narrative. They were successful enough to make me enjoy the episode, which was quite generous with action and special effects, including the show's state-of-the-art zombie effects.

If you squint just a little, you can still see that "The Walking Dead" is worn at the seams. This just isn't a program that does dialogue or character development very well. Dear God, am I sick of the saccharine pep talks among Maggie, Rick and Jesus. It's like a bowlderized menage a trois scripted by Hallmark card writers, in which everyone is masturbating one another verbally and metaphorically. (Strangely enough, though, the show does just fine scripting and characterizing its villains. Negan and his henchman — including the traitorous Eugene — all seem to have distinct voices, are interesting to watch, and are well portrayed by their actors.)

There were plotting and logistical problems too … it seems to me that our heroes had ample opportunity to finally shoot Negan (in a story conclusion that we should have seen ages ago), yet inexplicably chose to expend countless rounds at his building's windows.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy the episode, though. There was a lot of childish fun to be had with the explosions, armored vehicles, and grotesque zombies, not to mention the long overdue emotional payoff of watching Rick and company finally take the fight to Negan. If you used to love this show and want to love it again, the premiere will at least give you a little hope.

The Walking Dead is back; one of the shows that need binge watching. I was excited when the 100th episode came out, but when I watched it; I was not surprised and immediately wanted to write my review to state its flaws. Sadly, it wasn't that good. Firstly, the dialogue. It was poorly written — I barely understood some of the talk scenes and there were some scenes that you could easily see their mumbling which is not a good thing — making it uneasy to listen, but not only is it difficult to listen due to poor performance, but it was embarrassing as well, because it's one of the most watched television series. Secondly, the cinematography was unacceptable and it lacks quality. I used to enjoy watching this show, but now it's just a show about spilling blood and never as compelling as the writers want it to be. The previous season made the show dull and predictable and it officially went downhill after Season 7.
