Season 2 Review: The Walking Dead: Dead City season 2 pushes itself in a slightly absurd direction, but that only helps to give it a firmer identity. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Surprisingly, there is enough great storytelling here not only to keep that door open, but actually to inspire a little hope that the next era of “The Walking Dead” might be its best since the flagship’s early days. Read full review

Season 1 Review: If the future of the series is anything like this first season of Dead City, with its recentering of a core group of characters and the strongest story that The Walking Dead has had in years, then there may just be some life to be found in this dead world. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Too much of the healing and forgiveness achieved in their [Lauren Cohan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan's] relationship during The Walking Dead’s final season gets taken back and undone, which makes Dead City feel like an unsatisfying loophole was created around moving their story forward.

Season 1 Review: Frenemy energy between the leads is what helps this series rattle along like a disreputable B-movie. If it cannot match John Carpenter’s blackly comic Manhattan suicide mission Escape from New York – an obvious influence – it at least has fun trying. Read full review

Season 2 Review: The Walking Dead: Dead City doesn't seem to have much story left to tell. Like the worst seasons of the original series, it's merely shuffling in place, desperately searching for something of bigger substance to chew on. Read full review

Season 1 Review: If you happen to be really tired of the core Walking Dead formula, it’s a long time before you’ll get even a hint of creative rejuvenation — and it really is only a hint, so don’t get your hopes up. If, however, you’re perfectly content to have Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Lauren Cohan back on your TV making zombies go squish ... The Walking Dead: Dead City delivers a barely adulterated version of that formula. Read full review

Série muito boa. Não prometeu nada e acabou deixando uma boa história. Muitas coisas novas foram apresentados é um início de algo novo no final para Negan e os sobreviventes.

I think Negan is so cool, really since his introduction into the series he has always been so cool and that is my favorite part

Based on E01 and 2 - better than TLOU with two stronger main characters but also suffers from being thin on content and secondary characters. E02 is too short, otherwise I'd rate it higher. Overall a weak effort so far due to basic production errors.

Keeping it down to 6 episodes really helped and as someone who nearly didn't watch due to exhaustion of so many Walking Dead shows I was surprised how much I enjoyed this. Still, just an average TV show. Maggie's character over time just gets worse and more annoying. This would be way betterKeeping it down to 6 episodes really helped and as someone who nearly didn't watch due to exhaustion of so many Walking Dead shows I was surprised how much I enjoyed this. Still, just an average TV show. Maggie's character over time just gets worse and more annoying. This would be way better with a story focused more on Negan and Maggie perhaps in just one episode or not in the show at all.… Expand

There's no reason for this series. The writers have been trying to make a reason for these two to be together. It doesn't make sense. The shows have been boring. The angst been unbelievable. They should have sent any actors to New York instead of these two.
