    One of the best seasons of all time! No bad episodes whatsoever! Just one banger after another! 6x1-6x4 was probably the best consecutive episodes in a row ever!

    Despite still being entertaining it's faults are showing more and more now. It's becoming more predictable and illogical with justifying how it's characters make decisions. Glens murder was a shock tactic the previous seasons wouldn't have to employ.

    An extremely disappointing season finale, in 16 episodes, not much happened. Feels like there is no point on the trama, and having governor 2 as the series villain feels like there is lack of imagination to continue. Find a vaccine or something and end this before it keeps getting more and more ridiculous.

It's strange after a relentless last season seeing them in such a different environment however this season was jam-packed full of surprises and twists to keep you engaged and following the program.

Unfortunately the season is marred by alot of "gotcha" moments, false gut punches and a extremely polarizing cliffhanger finale all tied with a slow pacing and weak episodes that don't capitalize on the show at all (at least in my opinion). Negan was toted as the main antagonist throughout the whole season and yet barely has ten minutes on the clock to establish himself. Of which surprisingly was really good and I have to commend Jeffrey Dean Morgan for this transformation considering how important Negan will be in the plot and comics for the large fanbase. Regardless, AMC did a demolition crew's job of trying to be bold with its episodes and characters. Mid Season Finale was extremely disappointing and with the finale being about the same, I was quite sad that the series had drifted below even its fourth season, because at least season 4 had a satisfying finale and an ok mid that was followed up by a better premise of episodes despite having issues of its own. Season 6 is a 6, it's decent and very safe but if not fro some genuinely cool moments, the show would have rightfully gone back to its mediocre state like it did when it started.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The more I watch this show the more it occurs to me that it is entertaining in spite of the writing rather than because of it. The premise of The Walking Dead means that, even at its worst, there will always be a good number of entertaining episodes and scenes in every season but the way the writers continually drag out storylines by adding pointless plot strands is even more evident during this sixth season and can make for a frustrating viewing experience at times. Glenn’s fake ‘death’ was also a completely unnecessary piece of audience manipulation and the ridiculous decision to end on a cliff-hanger really robs one of the comics most shocking scenes of it impact.

    There is still enough here to keep me watching but for the love of God please improve the writing!    … Expand

I was so hyped to see Morgan return only to find out he is borderline a coward. He got people killed because he let those wolves go in season 5. Where the season really starts to pick up for me again is when we see the entrance of the Saviors. The season finale was probably the best part of the entire season in my opinion.… Expand

    This series was built on emotion! Virtually every character cried, real tears, and it tore your heart out. So, through 7 episodes, virtually no emotion. It's now become just a zombie series, what a disappointment... My low score is earned because it's fallen so far...

    Kurz vor weg! Ich bin ein großer TWD-Fan. Ich lese die Comics, zocke jedes Game dazu und schaue natürlich auch die Serie. Auf die sechste freute ich mich ohne Ende, da mich persönlich die fünfte Staffel außer bei der ersten Folge, sehr entäuschte. Trotzdem war ich voller Hoffnung, dass die sechste Staffel wieder alles ausgleicht und ja, dass hat sie, aber mit leichten Schwächen.

    Ich fand es sehr gut, dass die ersten Folgen der sechsten Staffel sehr viel rasanter abliefen. Die Episoden waren mal vollgepackt. Ich fand viele Folgen in der fünften Staffel dienten nur als Lückenfüller um die Geschichte zum Staffelfinale zu überbrücken. Das war zum Glück in den ersten Episoden von Staffel 6 nicht der Fall. Hier hatten die Episoden 1, 2, 3 und 4 definitv mehr Sinn als manche Folgen von Staffel 5. Trotzdem schwächelte nach Episode 4 erneut die Staffel. So wurden Cliffhanger innerhalb der Staffel über mehrere Folgen genutzt um den Zuschauer vor den Fernseher zu bannen. Dramatisch ja, aber es wirkte stark aufgesetzt. Das Midseason-Finale (Episode 8) war dann wieder richtig aufwendig, war aber dann im Vergleich zu den vorherigen Staffeln anders (was gut ist). Die zweite Staffelhälfte war stattdessen bombenstark. Ich muss sagen, dass die Serie einen guten Grad zwischen Comic und Eigenerfindung gefunden hat. Die Storyline der Serie ist natürlich nicht zu 100% identisch, aber ist meiner Meinung nach sehr gut angepasst. Kommen wir wieder zur Staffel ansich. In der zweiten Staffelhälfte hatte ich zu keiner Zeit das Gefühl, dass es Episoden gibt die keinen Sinn ergeben. Das Staffelfinale war auch sehr spannend, allerdings war meiner Meinung nach das Ende nicht gut gewählt. Das Ende wirkte zu sehr nach Kundenanbindung (wir bringen die Zuschauer dazu, dass sie die 7. Staffel schauen müssen!). Ich persönlich hätte knapp 10 Minuten noch dran gehängt und danach den Zuschauer ahnungslos den Abspann hinterherblicken gelassen. Ich verstehe natürlich die Sicht der Serie. Sie will ein Ende wo wir sauer vor dem Fernseher sitzen und sagen: "Was soll der Mist?! Was ist passiert?! JETZT MUSS ICH BIS OKTOBER WARTEN!". Muss es denn sowas immer sein? Ich hätte gerne den Plot zu Ende gezeigt und in der siebten Staffel einen neuen Plot begonnen, der auf den vorherigen aufbaut. So muss ich jetzt erst zur ersten Episode der siebten Stafffel das Ende des Plots aus Staffel 6 erfahren um in der zweiten Episode einen neuen vorgesetzt zu bekommen. Ich bin gespannt was sich die Macher darunter vorstellen. Vielleicht sehe ich das auch völlig falsch und das Ende der 6. Staffel hätte man gar nicht besser machen können. Wir werden sehen...

    Alles in allem war ich begeistert von der sechsten Staffel. Für die siebte wünsche ich mir allerdings weniger Cliffhanger innerhalb einer Staffel oder zumindest nicht so aufgesetzte.

    - Besser als Staffel 5! Nur setzt die 6. Staffel zu sehr auf Cliffhanger. - 71/100 Punkte(n)    … Expand

    "Hi, I'm Negan. And I do not appreciate you killing my men."

    Season 6 started off strong - with the pasting flowing nicely, the characters got things done and everything kept moving which is good, because none of the scenes didn't feel like it was dragging or to me it didn't. I got to admit, I was gripped with the first half of season 6 and I literately thought we got another season 5    "Hi, I'm Negan. And I do not appreciate you killing my men."

    Season 6 started off strong - with the pasting flowing nicely, the characters got things done and everything kept moving which is good, because none of the scenes didn't feel like it was dragging or to me it didn't. I got to admit, I was gripped with the first half of season 6 and I literately thought we got another season 5 on own hands. And I'm not kidding around when I say this, but the start of this season with supporting characters getting brutally killed off and many other unexpected moments that can keep any viewer on edge.

    In this season, Ricks group teaches the folks at Alexandria a thing or two about fighting the living dead and how to protect themselves when being attacked, but this has many failed attempts. Those scenes alone are pretty solid and this also gives the characters something to do. But really, how many people have gone through hell and came back? How many have witnessed a loss of their loved ones, had all the odds against them, death had gotten as close to therm as it possibly can, yet they carried on, not because they wanted to but because they had to, they carried on because they discovered a purpose in their lives much larger than themselves. All of that was missing in Season 2, 3 & 4.

    Andrew Lincoln, Melissa McBride and Lennie James (in my opinion) were the three stand outs of this season with the performances having some much weight to it. You either like or hate Morgan but you got to admit that Lennie James dose such a great job. Oh and screw you WatchMojo for putting him on Top 10 Worst American Accents By Non Americans.

    Everything was going pretty good. The writing was a bit off in a few episodes and some of the characters motivations didn't always make sense or it just plain stupid, but besides that, everything was going rather good.

    And then we got the finale which has to be the most insulting and the biggest copout that any TV show could do. It was a big middle finger to the fans and it's very clear now that the creators of the show don't give a f**k about the fans, as they have said that their don't feel sorry at all for the finale. I've seen a lot of TV shows with huge cliffhangers that demands viewers to be patient. I mean, just look at "Lost" that show is literally nothing but cliffhangers and a lot of people had to wait a year to know the answers. Luckily for us, we only have to wait till October, but it's kinda sad that this is what this show is turning into. The impact and the build up was completely ruined by the brain dead f**ktards at AMC. I bet the first episode of season 7 will have the biggest viewing ratings in any TV show ever, because of that cliffhanger. It's a sick businesses.

    But the real reason why I'm so upset with the cliffhanger and the stupid finale is that it ruined Negan introduction that everyone (including me) was looking forward to. The character itself was threatening and more evil than The Governor. Jeffery Dean Morgan did an excellent performance as Negan that was unfortunately cut short. And it isn't easy delivering lines like "It's gonna be pee-pee pants city here real soon", and somehow make that threatening but he did the best he could do for what he got.

    Remember when we all thought Glenn died in the episode "Thank You" but many people pointed out that he might be alive somehow. I mean, there was no memorial for Glenn on The Talking Dead which that alone gave away that he's still alive. And four episodes later, it's reveled that Glenn is alive and I have to admit that I was really happy that he isn't dead. But now when I look back at it, what was the point with that? I'll tell you what the point was, for view ratings and to get people to watch next weeks episode. Yeah it was shocking and did get me waiting for next week episode, but it's a subplot that goes nowhere and it doesn't do anything to the story.

    "Last Day on Earth" is a 90 minute episode with no real pay off from the previous filler episodes. But season 6 overall is a decent season with a lot of pros & cons that can be found in other seasons.    … Expand

Foi uma boa temporada, mas os episódios ruins ofuscaram os pontos fortes da temporada, como a primeira parte dela, os 3 primeiros episódios, um belo flashback contando a história de Morgan, e tivemos um excelente mid-season ,talvez o melhor episódio da série quando e Rick e seu grupo expulsam os walkers de Alexandria. A introdução de Jesus, Hilltop e até do grupo de Negan foi ótima também, mas vamos aos pontos fracos da temporada: A cena estúpida de Glenn, foi a cena mais forçada da série e umas das piores que já vi em séries, além do mais, prolongaram a resposta do ocorrido, o que foi ruim pra série e pro personagem, e vamos ao final da temporada, tivemos um bom episódio final que foi ofuscado pelo final covarde dos produtores, a série está na sexta temporada e é a série mais popular do planeta, não precisa de um cliffhanger, um gancho é desnecessário em uma grande sério hoje em dia. Os produtores precisam focar mais no enredo da série, pensar no fim dela, pra que todo o processo até la não seja enrolado, cansativo.
