Season 1 Review:
“Dead City” isn’t perfect, but after “The Walking Dead: World Beyond,” “Tales of the Walking Dead” and even the long-running “Fear the Walking Dead,” this first of several planned spinoffs following the series finale offers the best reason to reenter this post-apocalyptic world in years.

Season 2 Review:
Dead City's new batch of episodes brings in new factions, fresh ideology, and different terrain to traverse, but it's still really for Walking Dead die-hards only. There are still exciting moments here and there, but the most interesting part is just how much of a contrarian punk Hershel's become.

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:
Transforming Madison Square Garden into a staging ground for postapocalyptic mayhem is inspired. But what Dead City lacks is a compelling human element. [3 - 23 Jul 2023, p.6]

Season 1 Review:
“The Walking Dead” shows prior were ensemble dramas that often weaved their narratives across dozens of central characters; the narrative of this six-episode season is more focused, and the better for it. That’s not to say it’s all rainbows, though; if you were tired of the “Walking Dead” formula, “Dead City”’s modest modifications aren’t quite enough to save you.

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.
