Fear the Walking Dead: Till Death (2021)
The Dark Horses
'Till Death' is a decent and creative Dwight and Sherry centric episode. As of now, Fear The Walking Dead has for me surpassed the main show in terms of overall production and entertainment. Well directed episode by Lennie James with a memorable performance from Aisha Tyler.
Fear the Walking Dead: Breathe with Me (2021)
Solid
This one was pretty good, and much better than what I expected it to be. Sarah has always been a fun character to watch, but was partly forgotten in season 6. Now it was finally Mo Collins' turn to shine in an emotional thriller, where the search for Sarah's brother Wendell takes an unexpected turn. I was a little skeptical of Demetrius Grosse's comeback in the series, but Josiah proved to be an incredibly good addition!
On some occasions, it feels a little strange that Morgan always seems to be close to where things are happening. Still, I think Fear is so entertaining these days, that such coincidences do not bother me significantly. Really solid episode overall, the tension between Morgan and Strand, the stalkers and the undetonated warhead makes me very interested in the next upcoming episodes. And what is Padre?
Black Summer: The Cold (2021)
Entertaining
I wasn't the biggest fan of Black Summer's first season, but I have to give credit where credit is due. "The Cold" was a good, intense and creative episode in many ways. While this show lacks depth in terms of proper character development, it's still very much entertaining, and it left me wanting more. Really enjoyed the anthology style of this episode, and the opening scene was very well executed.
Season 2 has catched my interest so far, I'll definitely stick around for the rest of the season. Final rating: 8.7/10.
Fear the Walking Dead: The Beginning (2021)
Game changer
I've been catching up with Fear lately, after hearing good things about season 6. I pushed through the fourth and fifth season, and it was all worth it! The season as a whole has been phenomenal, and the finale was no exception. Teddy launched the missiles!
The highlight of the episode for me was without a doubt Strand's monologue towards the end. A true survivor who finally realized what has brought him this far. It will be exciting to see what next season has in store for him and the historian. I'm glad Dwight and Sherry survived, it seems like they have finally found peace with each other. We got an interesting CRM cameo and some really cool, classic Daniel scenes as well. And you can't help but mention Dakota's epic death scene. My only gripe of the episode was Dakota killing Teddy instead of John Senior after all that build up, but I can see why they chose to go that route as it was a defining moment for her.
To conclude, a very solid and intense finale that makes me hyped for season 7. I am curious if the long-term plan is to set up a leadership duel between Morgan, Strand and Alicia moving forward. This season has clearly captured my interest, and completely brought me back to the show again. Well done, Fear.
The Walking Dead: Find Me (2021)
Another great episode!
Season 10 has been a solid season so far, and I really enjoyed this episode as well. Daryl's relationship with Leah was interesting, certainly something I didn't expect would happen. I hope we'll meet her again someday.
This was one of Norman Reedus' absolute best performances on the show, the fight with Carol at the end was strong and impactful. Cinematography was top notch!
The Walking Dead: Walk with Us (2020)
The best The Walking Dead episode in years
Where should I start?
10 seasons in, The Walking Dead is better than ever. This episode had everything, and some more. Intense action sequences, world-class make-up, good direction, and twists I never saw coming.
The ending scene was amazing and makes me wonder what will happen next. Well done, Angela Kang!
The Walking Dead: Morning Star (2020)
The Walking Dead just made Game of Thrones look like a joke
First of all, this was a slow, character driven episode packed with interesting dialouge, buildup and action.
One thing I think this program does really well is to embrace the different characters' relationships. We got to see more of the strong friendship between Rosita and Eugene, Alden and Earl's father and son relationship, as well as a strong and meaningful conversation between Carol and Lydia. Despite all the trouble Carol has been through, Daryl shows great empathy in a moving scene before the episode ends with a bang that makes Game of Thrones look like a junior team. An exceptionally good sequence where the group looses on Alpha's horde, but The Whisperers have an ace up in their sleeve.
It will be very interesting to see what next week brings ...
The Walking Dead: Squeeze (2020)
Intense and claustrophobic midseason premiere
The Walking Dead has delivered some amazing episodes since Angela Kang took over as showrunner, and this week's episode is no exception. I was on the edge of my seat during the whole episode, and the last fifteen minutes of the episode was epic. Can't wait for next week!
The Terror: The C, the C, the Open C (2018)
Perfection
I have watched a «couple» of shows in my life, but this might be one of my favorite episodes of all time. The cinematography, storytelling and acting in this episode is just perfection. A masterpiece.
The Walking Dead: Open Your Eyes (2019)
One of the most intense episodes this show has ever produced
Season 10 delivers another brilliant episode with «Open Your Eyes». Siddiq's PTSD arc is horrifying, and Avi Nash is really killing it in this role. This episode includes many interesting and dramatic moments with strong performances from Melissa McBride, Thora Birch, Cassady McClincy and Ross Marquand.
The ending scene was epic and not expected at all! The Walking Dead is back to being one of the best shows on TV at the moment. Can't wait to tune in for the midseason finale!
