After three seasons of this zombie drama, you might
expect things to slow down. Not so. The first episode is actually the only weak
part with every episode getting better. Some of the episodes of this season are
the best of the series so far. As a whole the producers finally upped their
game and gave us something more in line with the first season when Frank
Darabont ran the show. Andrew Lincoln has never been better. What I liked about
his character here was that he seemed to be more focused and less insane- not that
he’s emotionally balanced. All the characters go through a journey of some kind
that brings depth to their interactions and explains their actions. The return
of the Governor is so rewarding, the entire span of his rise back on top with
another group of survivors could make an entire season but it’s actually the
jumping off point that sends the characters we love on a lonely and unknown
road to a place called Terminus. The best episode of the season is “The Grove”,
a painful and horrifically sad episode from Carol’s point of view that will
never leave my mind. “Too Far Gone” is the next best one, the point of change
that the series needed if it was going to ever get better. Now I can’t wait for
the next season to see what’s going to happen, who is going to live and for
those who die, how. It’s not a very forgiving show but it certainly is one of
the most entertaining right now on TV. Grade: A-
