Review: The Walking Dead 8×16, “Wrath”
*Note: I have some thoughts on the Fear the Walking Dead season premiere following this review. Remember when people used to die on The Walking Dead? I’m not talking about random Saviors or folks from...
Review: The Walking Dead 8×14, “Still Gotta Mean Something”
Thanks to a slightly extended episode crowded with characters, The Walking Dead managed to spin its wheels a little more, as we reach the final two episodes of season eight. “Still Gotta Mean Somethin...
Review: The Walking Dead 8×13, “Do Not Send Us Astray”

It’s hard to say whether or not I liked “Monsters” any more or less than the season eight premiere of The Walking Dead, but it at least seemed a bit more focused than last week’s episode. We’re still ...
Review: The Walking Dead 8×02, “The Damned”
So I get how The Walking Dead wants to capitalize on the graphic novel’s “All Out War” chapters but did anyone count on this show going this far with that idea? For a series that’s been criticized in ...
