Its brisk pacing, big action, and focus on the camaraderie between the Alexandria, Hilltop, and Kingdom survivors makes for super entertaining television which makes you feel good without trivializing the drama. ... The episode offers more than popcorn-movie thrills and chills, however. Balancing out the mayhem is an understated, poignant father-son moment between Rick and Carl.

Well-done, but then TWD is always well-done. What’s missing is the thrill of surprise, or the shock of surprise. “Mercy” at least offers a hint that one may be coming.

I don't no why people hate this season so much, because I think this season is one of the best season so far! It got a lot of action! And the Final episode is just amazing tbh!

Three episodes in and this is by far the best season of any TV show. People asked for action, they got action. They asked for no bottles and we got no bottle episodes. What more could you possibly ask for? Amazing season and Episode 4 looks to continue this amazing trend of this action-packed ALL OUT WAR season. Also Flavatown is a troll so I would ignore his review. He gave it a 0 so that just automatically makes him an unreliable troll. He's a sheep and follows the hate train.

The urge to expand the story beyond the constant flight from mindless flesh-munchers is understandable. But much of the dread, as well as emotional urgency, has gone out of the show in the process. ... The staging of the action in the season premiere, in which Rick, Maggie and XXX lead an attack on the Saviors compound, feels well below the show’s previous standard, like Michael Bay on a bad day.

Tato sezóna byla úžasná, ach bůh, Negan a Rick jsou nejlepší postavy, které se někdy objevují v televizi, a nemohu se dočkat, až uvidím víc.

By the way, this is a review after watching the mid-season finale! I found the first half of season 8 to be a mixed bag. After watching the first four episodes of the series, I was beginning to question whether on not I should just give up on the programme, such was their lack of quality. Lack of surprises, lack of clarity, and the constant and unrelenting action scenes (with little real thought included) made them among the poorest Walking Dead episodes I'd ever seen. Thankfully, things improved quite a lot after that. The pace of the action slowed somewhat, as actual dialogue between some of the main characters was included. Interesting scenes, especially with Negan and the Saviours in the four episodes, provided some great viewing. Unfortunately, there are still many plot holes in the writing and far too many poorly explained moments (especially in terms of action scenes), that you'd have to be a military strategist to fully understand. The dull or unnecessary characters are also still present, such as King Ezekiel and his deputy, Jadis and Tara, though attempts have been made to liven them up a bit, with varying degrees of success. Overall, it's been an improving start to the new season, with some good later episodes helping to erase the memory of the dross of the early episodes that started the season off.

Mit Abstand die schlechteste Staffel, die zweite Hälfte wird noch etwas besser, aber trotzdem ist sie sehr langweilig

Look, the series has just become embarrasing at this point. I can't use any words to describe this season, which is probably because i didn't understand what was going on half the time. So many of the characters are pointless and unlikable now. I used to really enjoy Norman Reedus's character but thanks to terrible writing he's now one of the most detestable characters on the show. Luckily the show hasn't dropped in quality visually, the walkers still look fantastic. Honestly, the first half of the season is one thousand times worse than the second, although both are still bad. If you're still a fan of the Walking Dead, i'd reccomend avoiding this season at all costs.
