This review is probably going to get negative feedback. Knowing this, just like this show, I'm going to go through with it anyways.
Anybody remember? Like a over a decade ago, when 'TWD' was golden age television and every week was suspenseful stakes because it could be your favorite character's last. But then the show ran too long and they could raise the stakes only so much every new season. Season 6 stakes raise--a penultimate episode with a fake out death of a fan favorite character--then actually killing him off in the following season premiere. How many viewers did you lose, AMC? Me, I stuck it through, I gave benefit of the doubt.
I even stuck with 'FTWD' when even the cast wanted out and we saw Madison go the way of the Dodo, then Nick, then so on...And they kept raising the stakes until it got to a ridiculously absurd proportion--THEY INTRODUCED A NUCLEAR APOCALYPSE DURING THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE! Then they killed off my two favorites, Charlie and Alicia. Like, that's it, FIN, the end. They've killed off the main FTWD family, thus the storyline.
But some producer over at AMC believed they could staunch the bleeding, revive the show with television magic deus ex machina CPR, and bring back to life, Kim Dickens, like another Andrew Lincoln survival fantasy. Now they're just having fun. "Let's do the reverse!" Bring back our friends for one last go. Budget a few to come back, not in flashback, not zombie back to life, but like alive back to life, then unalive them right away because...no one actually pays for AMC+. Poor Charlie. Alexa Nisenson, I love to see your beautiful face, but on another show, please. AND, if I see, Alycia Debnam-Carey, any time this season, I swear.... I swear I will petition the writers guild and get the writing staffs' memberships revoked.
