    This review contains spoilers, click expand 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.… Expand

    It really seems like the over-diluited garbage that TWD has been for the last 2 seasons might have finally reached an end, so, for those who lasted long enough in the abusive relationship with this Tv-Series, there is a sign of hope, there are still some of the logic flaws that were a trademark of the previous seasons (like the ridiculous glass-thing) but at least we're out of the endless "Shoothing at everything but Negan" phase, and they are hopefully starting to explore some more possibilities and context besides that.

    Please, stop defying logic and give us back something decent like you're possibly promising!    … Expand

He actually talks now and has opinions on problems (Crazy right?). Rick is still in charge, but not for long. There will be a minor death that will cost a "Major" death. The characters feel more alive this time around, yeah there are moments through out the lastest seasons, but now much better. This episode has problems, but I think It will differ person to person.… Expand

    The Walking Dead has come back with an incredible storyline which feels fresh despite running 9 seasons. Promising performances from Lauren Cohan, Andrew Lincoln and Melissa McBride maintain the entire hour entertaining and make us know that we are watching is a kind of reality.

    So far three episodes in and this season has been really good so far. Feels like a lot of loose ends are being tied up. I can't wait to see what more is to come for the rest of this season.

    The Walkign Dead started season 9 will a killer first episode. I'd say the show is offiically back on track to the greatness it was in the past, and I'm ready to see where things go from there.

    + Andrew Lincoln bekommt nochmal wahrlich perfekte Szenen zum Abschied
    + mehr Abwechslung innerhalb der Staffel
    + Serie funktioniert auch ohne ihren ehemaligen Hauptcharakter
    + Folgen fühlen sich nicht mehr gezogen
    + weniger "Filler-Folgen"
    + komplett neue Ideen nach 8 Staffeln!

    - letzte Folge wirkt etwas losgelöst
    - Flashback-Szenen zu häufig

    بسیار عالی. یک شروع کوبنده دیگر بعد از مدت ها. خوشبختانه داستان بسیار منطقیتر از دو فصل قبلی است. متأسفانه دو فصل قبلی کار خودشان را کرده اند و خیلی ها را برای همیشه از این سریال رانده اند. تنها چیزی که ما را میترساند این است که چگونه بدون ریک میتوان ادامه داد؟بسیار عالی. یک شروع کوبنده دیگر بعد از مدت ها. خوشبختانه داستان بسیار منطقیتر از دو فصل قبلی است. متأسفانه دو فصل قبلی کار خودشان را کرده اند و خیلی ها را برای همیشه از این سریال رانده اند. تنها چیزی که ما را میترساند این است که چگونه بدون ریک میتوان ادامه داد؟

    The return to an entertaining TV Show, without any filler, but straight quality storytelling.

    The past few seasons of Walking Dead were just something I played in the background. So far, this season (9 episodes in) is incredible! I wish that the whisperers would’ve been actual zombies though. I think the story would’ve been so much better if the walkers were evolving

    Returning strong, season 9 of The Walking Dead uses its first five episodes to wrap up two in-universe years of storylines, and comes back strong with new (and memorable) characters, and introduces the series' biggest threat. With strong character development and continuous themes of community, The Walking Dead does not fail to disappoint this season.

    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.
