How do you follow up one of the better seasons of this
Zombie epic? Oh, I don’t know, but part
of me wishes they had done better than this.
It’s not a great season. The
first half ends with a death that rocked me and not in a good way. I don’t want to spoil the character they kill
off but it felt like such a waste and I have to admit I almost considered not
watching the show. But I believe that
good characters do have to die sometimes (even if in a completely dumb way) and
kept on. The second half is a major
improvement but there’s still a sense that they’re going back to the well a
little bit. I have hope for the next
season; especially with a hinted at an upcoming villain, but you never know
with this show. It’s high anxiety
storytelling because I can’t trust the writers completely. Obviously they have to kill a bunch of
characters off, that’s the nature of this animal, but sometimes they do it well
and other times they don’t. It’s just
not a consistently well-crafted program.
The one thing that keeps me coming back is certain characters. The day they die is the day I stop
watching. It’s as simple as that. Grade: B
