Not every question--or every character’s fate--is settled in the premiere, but fans of the show will not be disappointed. Read full review

The Walking Dead still has a strong grip on our imagination as it continues to aim at all three levels--brain, heart and stomach--with deadly accuracy. Read full review

All that commotion sets the season on a compelling path, hitting the road with a purpose. This is when Dead is at its best: journeying through postapocalyptic, fun-house-mirror America. Read full review

It’s bracing to see a series that has weathered offscreen changes, and all but redefined expectations for cable viewership (as reflected in its soaring ad rates), continue to take creative chances--proving it can still leap ahead not just by shuffling along, but at breakneck speed.

The episode moves along at a good pace, with only a couple of moments when the timing feels a little too coincidental. Read full review

Elisabeth Vincentelli

Oct 10, 2014

It’s swiftly paced, disgusting--lots of shots of walkers chomping on screaming faces--and puts down some much needed signposts for the rest of the season. Consider us still hooked. Read full review

When death no longer holds the dread it once did, what's left is the fear of what life can become. And that is the boogeyman with which the characters must now wrestle. Read full review

good Walking Dead is one of the disliked popular shows with plenty of online critics who find fault. But its popular for a reason, its unpredictable, savage, uplifting and depressing in equal measure. Nobody's safe, no one can rest on their laurels and nobody is beyond reproach. Its alsogood Walking Dead is one of the disliked popular shows with plenty of online critics who find fault. But its popular for a reason, its unpredictable, savage, uplifting and depressing in equal measure. Nobody's safe, no one can rest on their laurels and nobody is beyond reproach. Its also very brave and will go against the grain. Kids have been shot on this show, which breaks all the rules.It isn't cheap either, detail is always paid to everything. Its compulsive and for me ideal binge. This show could go on for eons, and I hope it does.… Expand

The episodes 1 and 2 are full of dramatic and strong moments. The new characters like Bob, Gabriel and the canibal villains, contributes to a new way of drama.

Season V opens with renewed action and an even darker look, casting promises for a good start. You can tell these characters just had enough of it and are willing to show it. Let's just hope writers don't decide to stretch things and have us wait till the end of the season for new thrills.Season V opens with renewed action and an even darker look, casting promises for a good start.

After all, the comics are quite fast-paced.… Expand
