The Walking Dead: Dead City

Firstly I think the cgi and production is better than the original walking dead or fear of the walking dead. The colors pop more and it ain't as shadowy, while still being bleak and dystopian. Vfx is better and colors are more vibrant.

We get to see that the old Negan is still there, after seeing his character arc in twd into becoming the antihero. Jeffrey Dean Morgan definitely perfected Negan. There's still pretty good and gory zombie skull bashing, still has rival survival groups at war reminiscent of the parent show. It honestly feels like an extended filler episode of Maggie and Negan, the way twd used to, except this time it's a whole season. Those were used for character development and that's what it feels like now, character study into Maggie and Negan's relationship as they're somewhat forced to work together but for longer this time around.

I think, almost obviously, they're what carries the show since they are fan favorites, I haven't had my mind blown away but so far so good, only six episodes in so it doesn't have much time to get you invested. I don't think being a new fan or someone whose already watched the original makes that much of a difference, I'd still recommend doing that first, just that that's 11 seasons to go through. It'll definitely help understand Maggie and Negan's history.

I wouldn't say it's super promising but it's capable of becoming something good. I'm always looking forward to the next episode and hoping it only gets better while learning from the mistakes of twd.

My only concern would be having a burnout, as I said there's an 11 season original, 8 season sequel, another 2 season sequel, another one season sequel, and more sequels in the works other than Dead city.

So this has to be really good and avoid repetitiveness to captivate audiences again for something they've already watched for 22 seasons and counting.

This show is so good! I love the way they keep coming up ways to use Negan. There is the same suspense and thrill that I love about all of the Walking Dead shows. I just want more episodes- the seasons are too short. I can't wait for the next episode. There is also the ongoing tension between Maggie and Negan . And Maggie's son and his character development are in this season too. I hope they keep making more episodes and seasons. The writing is very creative. Maybe they can even make another spin off series! Great acting and directing too. Can't wait to see what else is to come for the walking Dead series!

You'd expect New York to be really really dangerous. Well, it is, but maybe because the characters are stupid and not because of the zombies. It's been over 15 years since the outbreak and a character just stands in front of a glass door that's clearly giving in and simply dies when the walkers come in? Come on... even on the first TWD season people wouldn't die in such ridiculous ways. Couldn't they figure out a better way to kill characters off? The writing feels somewhat poor in that matter and also on some dialogs. I noticed mostly on the first episode, where there wasn't that much action, the conversations between Maggie and Negan felt very off.

Not all is bad, until now, every episode was better then the one before. The action scenes are cool, there's enough suspense, the cinematography is really good and the characters are interesting, I don't even notice the 40 minutes passing by. If you ignore the annoying stupid writing decisions I mentioned before, it's a really fun show to watch, i'd give it an 8 or 9 out of 10 if it wasn't for them.

If you're a TWD universe fan, you should definitely watch it. Even if you didn't finish The Walking Dead, if you know Negan that's enough.

I hated season 1 but I am so glad I stuck around for season 2. So much fun, and a fresh take on a The Walking Dead spin off. Great and original characters that I felt genuine emotions for. My brother and I had a great time watching it and looked forward to each episode. Fingers crossed for renewal.

(Only criticism for season 2 (I have many for season 1) is that sometimes the set design, although at times very creative and well shot, was a little empty. I think they should spend a bit more time on adding juxtaposition, colour, and depth to the sets. Despite the set design, a lot of the shots (although a little basic), energetic acting, and amazing costume design, gave life to the scenes).

Just watched episode 1. The show and pairing makes little sense but ANC does a solid job with casting and getting talented actors, possibly second only to HBO. That stated, there are a lot of holes in the story so far when paired with the end of TWD, but that show was hard to get through (at least the last 3 seasons). I thought after a break from that show it might be a decent time to start up a spin off. Hopefully this picks up a little. The scenery and sets are solid, so it feels like they did put some decent money behind the show. People giving this at 10? Come on. How do you compare it to the greatest shows ever and believe this series is on the same level? If that's you think before you start handing out more 10/10's in the future - please.
