The Walking Dead

The season finale delivered some excellent action and moved the plot forward nicely. However, it didn't include Carol and Tyreese, and the ending was a bit predictable. I doubt the conclusion surprised anyone since I anticipated this outcome from the first map message. (03/11/2017)

Season 5 wasn't bad, I'm just annoyed by certain issues that appear in every season: episodes that serve no purpose other than to stretch out the plot, nonfunctional psychoanalyzing, or straight-up moralizing. What I liked in both Season 4 and Season 5 was the group around Sergeant Ford. Those three were great. It was clear that things would get tense in Terminus, but I didn’t expect their diet to be so unpalatable. The excellently handled season finale got me excited for Season 6. (03/16/2017)

The fifth season kicks off brilliantly. If the series can maintain the standard set by this first episode, it'll be fantastic. Overall, a highly entertaining episode that will particularly appeal to romantic butchers. (03/12/2017)

Compared to the last episode, the plot was a bit weaker but still solid. Honestly, I wouldn't have saved that priest. I'd be more inclined to help those walkers up the rock just to see if the Almighty really takes care of His flock. Personally, I'd bet on the walkers. (03/12/2017)

Well, that was good. What I enjoyed the most was the overall, rather optimistic atmosphere that permeated the entire episode. Plus, I loved the moments when Rick really loses it. We even got to see the machete with the red handle in action and Michonne reunited with her katana, which was great. I missed her expert move of wiping off the blood, brains, and other bits from the blade. (03/12/2017)

Here we go again with another filler episode that doesn't really move the main story forward and just serves to introduce new characters. If Beth gets a few more scars, they might as well cast her as the Bride of Frankenstein. (03/13/2017)

Bull didn't disappoint and clearly carried the episode. The moment at the end where time almost stops, and everything changes with just one sentence, was both hilarious and impactful. Priorities shift in an instant, if they even remain at all. The sergeant definitely stole the show. (03/14/2017)

Swapping Beth for Carol made all the difference. Suddenly, everything was much more interesting. I wasn't bored or annoyed this time around. (03/14/2017)

Rick's group is turning Gabriel's church into a fortress using every resource they have. Daryl returns with reinforcements to Atlanta to rescue Carol and Beth. In the city, Rick shares his plan, but Tyreese offers an alternative, which Daryl supports. Meanwhile, things aren't looking good for the sergeant's group. They're running out of water, Eugene is still unconscious, and the sergeant is on the edge between apathy and rage. Tyreese's plan in Atlanta starts to take shape, and it seems like everything might go smoothly, but... (03/14/2017)

A great episode without filler; every action contributed to the story. The well-executed climax with the tense trade-off was a nice touch. My only gripe is that they should've let that annoying priest get eaten. (03/15/2017)

I might have rated this episode higher, but it leaned too heavily on moralizing and relied on hallucinatory sequences that are overused in both films and games. (03/15/2017)

Another filler episode. The characters are still walking, but now they're walking even slower. Just when you think they can't go on, they somehow do. During their breaks, they engage in mostly dull and pointless conversations. (03/15/2017)

After the painfully dull previous episode, this one was a pleasant surprise. It was action-packed, dynamic, and entertaining, keeping me engaged and wide awake. I especially enjoyed the constant battle with paranoia. (03/15/2017)

Truth be told, the episode is not one of the best, but it has an excellent, paranoia-infused atmosphere that balances the situation perfectly. The kind senator seems fake to me, like a sixty-crown note, so it's no wonder that some can't sleep peacefully. And on top of that, there's Aiden, who would be great as a target for practice. (03/15/2017)

The atmosphere is still dense, paranoia persists, Sash's reaction at the welcome celebration amused me greatly, and especially Carolina's method of keeping a secret. Rawly perfect! On top of everything, Rick's calves are starting to catch fire... (03/15/2017)

The fourteenth episode was very eventful, while some matters are revealed, others are entangled, there are further losses, and as I expected, Flanđák is the ultimate scumbag. Noah's ending was truly colorful. (03/15/2017)

The fifteenth episode was thoroughly brisk, but what bothered me in this one, as well as in the whole series, was another psychological window, this time handled by Sasha. I'm really annoyed by how almost every episode takes at least fifteen minutes for some character's intense internal struggle with their own psyche. Sure, I understand that the world has gone to places where the sun doesn't shine, but after five seasons, we all got it, and if it can't be done without the inner battle, maybe five minutes per episode would be enough. (03/16/2017)

I liked the final episode of the fifth season for several reasons. Morgan returned, because of whom the twelfth episode of the third season was filmed. The biggest loser of the whole community is undoubtedly a flanďák, which personally makes me extremely happy, thanks to my absolute resistance to religious fanatics of any denomination, and I can look forward to the sixth series because the ending left several storylines open. (03/16/2017)

The sixth season was the biggest disappointment so far. The undead may be visually perfect, but they have also become the most boring component of the series as they have nothing to offer besides shuffling, biting, and grunting. Hostile groups of the living could have put a fresh spin on things if it hadn’t been for the total disregard for logic and common sense in general. Plus, the series seems to be trying to put Zen Buddhism or the hippie philosophy into practice, so I can’t wait for Morgan to start sticking flowers into gun barrels. Clearly, the basic theme has been pretty much exhausted, and I wouldn't mind if season seven was the final one. (04/22/2017)

The first episode of Season 6 left a pretty good impression on me. The storyline was engaging, and the seamless blend of past and present worked well. The tension remained high, thanks to the lingering distrust among characters. However, I was a bit put off by some of the extras who seemed to be phoning in their zombie roles, strolling around like they were on a casual walk. On the other hand, some of their colleagues fully committed to their undead parts, and I wonder if they had trouble snapping back to reality. (04/19/2017)
