The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live

Yet another dismal Walking Dead knock off.How can they get it this wrong?

I managed most of the first tedious episode, before calling it a day. Lets start with the poor story. A story that makes Rick Grimes character look fragile, impulsive, whilst at the same time, indecisive and incoherent. The opening scene see's Rick cut off his own hand to escape from his captors, only to fall semi-conscious minutes later. Its a poorly thought through plan to say the least, that does not reflect the clever, strategic leader, established so convincingly, in the main series.

Given how "revisionist" Rick is being portrayed, I have an instinctive feeling, the show wont centre around this iconic character. No strong male leads, right? I was not surprised in the slightest either, by yet more dreary, woke nonsense.

The very limited upside includes quality acting, its a strong cast. Sets and CGI are above average. That said, the pluses can't make up for the noticeable deficits.

In summary. Like all of the Walking Dead spin off's to date, at its heart, inconsistent and often weak, storytelling, lets the series down. An emphatic hard pass from me. Perhaps its time to let the Walking Dead, die in peace?

I didn't want it to end! But it has to have an ending.

5/5 stars

This is best spinoff of The Walking Dead. How can it be dead, it's Rick Grimes there. This spinoff covers everything perfectly and it gives us the good ending of the Walking Dead we all wanted. Thank you, creators!

This should have been the spinoff that continued. So much better than the current spinoffs that are active.
