“The end of every story is very important. How do you want your story to end?” Requests the last episodes of the walking DeadAMC’s flagship zombie drama is coming to an end after 11 seasons, 12 years, and 177 episodes. Described by the cabler as “an epic eight-part finale” to the highest-rated TV series in cable history, it returns Oct. 2 on AMC and AMC+, and the ending begins at the beginning. The first two of the critics’ final eight episodes have been released with Judith Grimes (Kylie Fleming) telling a short nostalgic tale of flashes of walking dead Years and seasons passed, starting with the 2010 beta, “Days Gone Bye.”
The walking dead The premiere of the third season finale begins on the iconic image of Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) wakes up after the apocalypse, swaying past bloodstained walls in a dark and deserted hospital corridor. The screams and roars of the dead come from behind a cafeteria door strewn with a spray painted ominous warning: “Don’t open. Dead inside.”
“I’ve heard a lot of stories about when the world fell,” 11-year-old Judith tells Fleming director flashback footage from the first 12 years of the apocalypse. “People who die, and people who go, are not lost forever,” she says in her other vignette about clips of the dead and the living who are no longer on the show: Rick. Michonne. Carl. Herschel. Glenn.
Framed as a story told by Judith—a tribute to author Robert Kirkman’s latest comic book issue—these short montages of excerpts from the first 10 seasons will be much appreciated by fans who have taken this journey with these characters since 2010. But the walking Dead Don’t live in the past. Little reels that revisit the history of the theater serve the present as well: As the survivors fight for a future for themselves and their children, the outcome will decide the legacy they leave behind.
Based on the first two episodes available for review, titled “Lockdown” and “A New Deal,” there’s no final feeling or an “end” in sight yet. But these two episodes are off to a solid start: to say how spoilers will be abandoned, but both episodes finish setting the walking DeadThe end of the game that will conclude with the end of the series on November 20. It’s the End must sink in feeling for the remaining six episodes, as New Deal (premiere October 9 on AMC) shocks even comic book readers won’t expect it to—a surprise that is sure to change the season in a new and unexpected direction.
Led by series and veteran Angela Kang, AMC’s adaptation of Kirkman’s graphic comedy expands and epitomizes the struggle over the Commonwealth, a seemingly poetic Ohio society where survivors hope for stability and the re-establishment of civilization. Confronting groups and societies is not new ground for it the walking Dead But the show is in a new territory – literally – with epic scope and scale as it does something that has never been done before: it takes place in a post-apocalyptic community of some 50,000 survivors, where walkers are the only reminder that it’s not “Old World”. ”
kind of horror, part political horror, the walking Dead He has found new life as the slogan “Fight the Dead, Fear the Living” sees our heroes clash with the Commonwealth’s “New World Order”.
Essentially a two-book, “Lockdown” picks up where the mid-season finale of April’s “Acts of God” left off: With Hilltop, Oceanside, and Alexandria under enemy occupation, they were taken over as Commonwealth military outposts. Hunted by Vice Governor Lance Hornsby (Josh Hamilton)’s army of armored soldiers, Daryl (Norman Reedus) and Maggie (Lauren Cohan) hatch a plan to wrest their people from the Commonwealth before Hornsby can carry out his revenge.
Within the walls of the Commonwealth, an anti-Milton movement is protesting for justice after an article by Connie (Lauren Ridloff) exposes the corruption of Governor Pamela Milton (Lily Robbins) and her son Sebastian (Theo Rabe Olson). While Carol (Melissa McBride) and Jerry (Cooper Andrews) protect children targeted by Hornsby spies, General Mercer (Michael James Shaw) and Private Rosetta (Christian Serratos) are sent to clear a massive infantry squadron that forces the Commonwealth to close – compromising the exit plan.
The first two episodes have what fans love: more uncensored F-bombs, more bloody zombies, more fan-favorite names, and more character mingling. The action-packed premiere is a gas, without brakes, breaking up with Daryl and Maggie while pairing Carol and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) on a mission within the Commonwealth, all while ordering Hornsby to shoot them: “That ends here.”
While “Lockdown” isn’t “No Way Out” — the epic and explosive mid-season premiere that launched the second half of Season 6 as all of Alexandria fended off a horde of invading infantry — the episode directed by Greg Nicotero is packed with thrills and ride suspense from start to finish. the end.
Mostly prep for what happens next, Eugene (Josh McDermitt) and whistleblower Max (Margot Bingham) make moves to undermine Milton’s system, pumping “New Deal” the brakes a bit — until the last minutes. Like many episodes under Kang’s tenure as the show’s organizer, “The Deal” ends with a jaw-dropping piece of changer that pushes us into the next game-changing episode.
Kang and Executive Producer Scott M. Gimble, who is also the Creative Director of AMC TWD Universe, that the last eight episodes are about to “complete” The walking dead The story, not the “set up side effects”.
Three sequels are set to premiere in 2023: one bringing together Rick and Michonne (Danai Gurira); solo series focusing on Daryl abroad in France; And the TWD: Dead CityMaggie and Negan are sent to travel together to post-apocalyptic New York. It’s doubtful this third and final season 11 will (re)introduce regional variety walks so close to the finish line, but there’s a lot of life left in these concluding chapters.
The end of every story is very important. Based on the first two of the last eight episodes, the walking DeadThe end may just be a new beginning.
Rating: 4 out of 5
