Truth or Dare

I can see some walking dead now it's good to remember about our old but gold series

After the previous episode ,I'd had enough. Really Bad writing , as many people have said it has the feel of a Nickelodeon show not a Walking Dead show , but I stuck with it for 1 more episode and I have to say this was a definite improvement. Im about to watch this weeks episode with a little more hope for something good.

I think this epsiode has some of the best parts and some of the worst parts of the season so far. Yes, we get more flashbacks. This time from Huck, but in my view her flashbacks actually were very interesting and her backstory fitted very well with the narrative of the epsiode. For the first time the flashbacks dont feel completely forced into the episode. After that epsiode I kinda think that Huck is interesting. Now to the bad. I never lightly use the word cringe. Cringe is an overused word today. That being said, I cringed everytime Iris and Percy were flirting and Silas looking pissed in every tiny situation. That whole plot felt like it was taken from a show aimed at pre-teens.. At least the ending is kinda interesting. Someone finally dies. The biggest problem with the show in general is, that the plot is paper thin. Everything that happened until now could have been compressed into 2-3 episode really.. Also what is up with people calling the cinematography on point? It isnt really bad and in this episode it is sometimes even good, but in general it is very generic. Dont you watch any other shows? Compare this to the new epsiodes of Fear S6. There is a night and day difference in cinematographic effort.

When Annet Mahendru (Huck) was on a show called The Americans. She was flawless. Every scene she was in, she was spot on.

So how can she be so so so bad here? I'm confused.

I'll go out on a limb here and say casting Annet as a marine with a southern accent was just not good casting.

I agree with many who say the acting is really bad for a series that is known for really GOOD acting. Aliyah Royale as Iris is flat out terrible. Alexa Mansour as Hope is like listening to a robot with teen angst. Ick Thing is, I have zero problem with the three dudes acting. I see nothing wrong with them.

Which means, it isn't the director or story, (which is kinda stupid), it's the inability to 'like' the 3 female leads. And I don't. At all.

So whoever the casting director was,,, you are not very good at your job. Yes, the story may suck, but at least the dudes are doing ok.

But since there is so much crap on tv, I'll continue watching to see if the girls learn to act along the way. Gonna be tough though. They got a lot to learn.

This episode was ok.

Finally an episode that doesn't drag! None of the characters really annoyed me like the previous episodes before this one. I also liked the Huck backstory we got, made me appreciate her presence more
