    The first three episodes of Season 9 are as strong as anything the show’s done since the heyday of Season 4. ... Even better, these new episodes make an effort to give most of the sprawling cast something to do.

    The world of The Walking Dead is still a scary and dangerous place. Characters will still die and characters will still show their horrific true colors, but characters will also laugh, and love and, gosh darnit, they’ll live this season. ... With Rick at relative peace as his final episodes approach--though Lincoln may be directing some episodes!--it’s intriguing to watch another member of his group go dark.

    Viewers have reason to worry that maybe the series isn’t so much taking them down a road less traveled so much as leading them around in circles, dragging itself out in order to once again make a familiar and garrulous point about the best-laid plans of mice and men often going awry.

    What the hell did they do with this series that was intended to become one of the best of all time?
    Now it is simply mediocre in all its aspects.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. Same old The Walking Dead. Do something monumentally stupid for no good reason, so we can have a regular almost killed. Then have someone not important really killed. Then have fantastic character moments like with Carol and Daryl, and interesting arcs for Maggie and Rick, along with a villain finally getting what they deserve. Same problems as other seasons. Same greatness as other seasons. Never has there been a more frustrating show on TV. Full Review »
