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

For an undead adventure to the isle of Manhattan, Dead City is a trip worth taking for The Walking Dead fans, and kicks off an exciting—if still a bit too familiar—new chapter for our favorite survivors. Read full 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

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.

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]

“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. Read full 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

As another person said, it isn't a fresh take, it's the same corny B-rate tripe we've had for years now. There's the odd good moment here and there, but they're so few and far between.
