Good thing it has a built in following. The show is mediocre. None of the characters are terribly likable and it is a relatively slow burn where very little actually happens. It could have been a movie special and nothing would be lost.

They should have started at episode 6, the only very interesting episode, didn’t want to miss a seconde

[@tanepukenga1421]

I think the split screen of faces at the end was more the pair returning to their previous roles, oppressor and rebel, but under each others circumstances with Negan being the one trapped into keeping people safe, and Maggie being the one on the hunt so to speak. It makes more sense to me than Maggie suddenly getting over her now habitual hatred of Negan because of a few drawings, one being of a woman she's never met or seen before.

[@jonfreeman9682]

This is a great character study show focusing on two characters instead of a massive sprawling cast. I think the original series just grew too big with too many characters. By having a short season it helps to focus on good storytelling and keep costs down. AMC made the call to keep it to only 6 episodes. Good move.

[@luisdiago3761]

I love😅 dead city! Maggie and Negan , cool chemistry!

[@TheIrishRushin]

Maggie and Negan shouldn't have chemistry. He brutally murdered her husband. He should be dead by her hand. That would be realistic. You don't fuck your husbands murderer. There is no forgive and forget.

I am interested to see the old Negan come and out and play in S2

[@shanehughes3511]

I think the "old" Negan will have a total breakdown next season. I think he can only take so much of playing that tough man who has no compassion. Yes, he will play the part to protect Hershel and Maggie as well as the people of The Bricks (Hilltop), Alexandria, Oceanside and the Commonwealth but he will struggle to step back into those shoes 13/14 years later. He was never evil, he took on an evil image for what he believed was the greater good but has since learned it was wrong. Having to do it again now, as a 60 year old man who has learned to cars for and love again other people and the weaker people, it may become too much for him. How many parents can he kill in front of their children or husbands in front of their wives again before he gives up and says no? My bet is by the time Maggie gets to him again, he will be a broken soul who she will have to put back together again.

[@tanepukenga1421]

I want him to be confronted by a still alive Janine or one of the kids he used to teach. Get his past coming up as a dirty reminder when he's acting like big 'ol bossman again to push his character development. Mostly because, lets be honest, he's one of the few TWD characters to actually get a full blown development arc. I guess that all depends on the writer's strike though. Let's hope it doesn't become another Heroes.

[@joshuacampbell289]

They should have done the “civil war” arc with Maggie as a full blown villain in season 9. She witnessed her father get decapitated, lost-found-lost her sister, then witnessed her husband get his brains bashed in. Rick’s decision to keep Negan alive along with Hilltop supporting every other community should have pushed her over the edge.

[@brentbynoe3767]

The show isn't about Maggie and Negan bruh , but they are the main charactors of a much wider story, which is Dead City and the everything else surrounding it. Yes the usual fight for control and all that still lurks but then again in an acolyptic world, that tends to happen when one is trying to survive in a dead world 'But idk.... And while your getting "already bored" with the storyline, the storyline itself is the very reason this show existed so giving your view on it is fine but if your complaining, and think writers are doing poor job, you are more that welcome to come up with solid ideas do their jobs for them and best on your guesses i think you will do a better job ✌P.S this isn't personal, just my opinion

[@McCrapweasel]

I think the spin-offs have been done well. Tight, controlled storytelling, excellent pacing, no filler. Great format for telling stories in TWD universe.

[@datmeme8967]

I was worried about this show, but I like the direction it's headed now. Only weak point in the narrative is Maggie telling her son that she realizes he's right about her obsession with Negan superseding her concern for him, and then deciding that the solution is to actually be MORE obsessed by trying to "finish it". Might have made more sense if Herschel had suggested that Maggie finish it so they can be free from the cloud over their lives instead of just going full brat mode.

[@ShaggyDabbyDank]

Herschel doesn’t want Negan dead. He doesn’t forgive negan for killing his dad, but the only Negan he’s ever known has been a changed one to the stories his mother tells

Mr. Think Story, you have proved yourself here as both astute and clever. Thank you for giving credit where credit was due, not filling up your vid with opinions about different actors which may or may not have any relation to the end product. You pay homage to the old ones and 11 seasons and you make room for the series to grow. You showed, imho, a truly telling bit from Nunny Isa, her accusing Daryl of abandoning Laurent. Cheap shot

[@johnnysizemore5797]

Personally I think that it's a good addition to the overall series, with this The Daryl one coming out the one with Rick & Michone and Fears final season we get the chance to see the hole Walking Dead World and understand what happed to it. We don't really need to know how it started or what caused it(it could be literally anything at this point just look @ The Division you could use it & it'd work) what we need is information on the rest of the world, we already know thanks to FTWD about the L.A. area & the early days of it and thanks to TWD we know about Georgia, Clementine showed use what happened with the Smaller Towns. There is still so much of the world in this little slice of hell to see that I hope that they keep going....

[@shanehughes3511]

The Walking Dead really felt like it should have ended years ago. However, I'm liking these new spin offs. The way dead city is centred around a few of the shows original characters and expands upon their story is very enjoyable. The fact the new characters are also well developed and not total campness is good too. I'm genuinely looking forward to seeing season 2. The two actors playing the villains are great. They have always played great villains and will be great in season two. Maggie perhaps finally moving on to the point where she may forgive Negan 16 years after he murdered her husband is also good character development. Together they could become good allies. It's also quite perverse in a totally realistic way that Negan may take on a father role for Hershel Jr in his teenage years. Hershel never knew his father and so it's hard to hate Negan for killing a father he never met. Where as Negan feels that perhaps he needs to makeup for Glen's absence. The Daryl Dixon spin off also looks good. I've always wanted the walking dead to move to Europe. FTWD going to Mexico and Texas wasn't a good move and stagnated. Europe offers a totally new world where society can have adapted entirely differently (castles, forts and ancient structures as colonies etc). France will be interesting and it gives us the chance in future seasons to see more of Europe near France like the UK, Netherlands, Spain and Germany etc. For the first time in about 6 years or so, I'm positive about thr walking deads future. It could go on a long, long time now with this new format. Rick and Michone will be fun too.

Me too. I just remember back when she first left the hilltop and told Jesus she wanted him to be in charge in her absence. If I remember correctly she wanted to go out and create a new community or help build up an already existing one. Remember when those ladies in the mini van came looking to trade "knowledge" for supplies??? They told Maggie they had information, a book, on how to create a self sustainable community. Windmills, crops, all kinds of things. Maggie didn't exactly trust them but she made the trade. She built up hilltop even more and better and then decided that the knowledge she got from those ladies was valuable and that other communities should have it as well. She felt it was her responsibility to go and spread this knowledge. So I assume she is at these new communities for that reason.

I mean what he did to Glenn AND Abraham was horrible and she was pregnant so imagine!! Who wouldn't want revenge. Shit, I did and I was just watching. But I do think eventually she will finally let it go and forgive him. He definitely redeemed himself after all of the thing's he did for them. I think he felt he owed it to them as well. He is actually an asset to them in my opinion. He knows the group, he has a history with them no matter how dark it is. They know each other, they know each other's strengths and potential. They could all be so much stronger together if they can all get past......the past.

Notice how while they're back in their old roles, their positions are now reversed too? With Negan being the one unable to act as he wants due to people he cares about and Maggie the one on the attack in the exact opposite positions they were once in. Nice bit of narrative there. Including Maggie now having the 'traitor' in her midst instead of Negan in the form of a brainwashed son rather than a scarred lieutenant and Ginny poised to counter him at the Bricks.

@@TheOneTrueClovehitch not really. 10 Was fine imo until the bonus episodes, aside from Here’s Negan. Didn’t defend 11 either. But to say ‘7 and 8’ had problems is more cap - they were bloody awful. No need to be charitable to them.

[@TheOneTrueClovehitch]

@@lewgallagher463 bro there’s no reason to be charitable to 10 and 11. Shit was the most predictable and lackluster tv I’ve ever seen. What was it, season 10 where Judith repaired Darryl’s jacket? And that was the most memorable part of the damn episode because all they did was move one building over. For the whole fucking episode. They talked and talked and talked and did absolutely nothing like it was a Disney show where they could wish their problems away.

So much George Romero in this show and spin offs. This one is close to Romero's "Land of the Dead". Thank You Mr. Romero for all the years of hard work, Horror & New Sub Genré. R.I.P.

[@theruiner4272]

not gonna lie, this show would be much better if The Walking Dead (the main show) never existed. Despite its massive plot holes, the main show was good for the first 4 or 5 seasons. many "world gone to shit" stories are packed full of plot holes and thus aren't massive ridiculous stories and many have the story take place years after the events of the world go to shit with maybe little flashbacks here and there to explain what happened like TLOU. The Walking Dead's world being ruined by a bunch of slow-moving zombies is insane. I heard a guy once say that if you have the ability to break into a light jog, you can survive the world of The Walking Dead. There are also far more good people than evil people in the world so a group like the saviors suddenly going around killing, torturing, enslaving, and bullying smaller groups isn't really something that would happen after only a couple years into the apocalypse. It feels as if Negan showed up 5 years into the story, but remember that Judith is still a baby when he shows up. She can't even talk yet. And Judith was born a little less than a year into the apocalypse. Maybe 9 or 10 months. Also, the little flashbacks of Negan and Simon being against killing kids was pointless as Negan killed a 15-year-old and was going to kill Carl if I remember correctly hadn't that stupid tiger performed an ex machina. that being said, this show seems to take place YEARS after the main events of the story. It's a story with a beginning, middle, and end. Maggie is REALISTICALLY resenting Negan, even after the whole thing where they "came to a mutual understanding" at the end of the main show. the mutated zombies are interesting, though if it were me I'd add scarier variants and make them much faster, maybe make them able to climb and make more human-like noises like the zombies in TLOU. the problem with making changes that could improve this half-way decent show is that it makes the story not lore-friendly and it retcons a lot of what happened in The Walking Dead. and TWD had already done that in the past with the zombies. though, if you'd ask me, i would make this spin-off a one season story where Negan dies at the end. the show made a good job of me liking his character more than i did when i watched the show. of course i wasn't too keen on some of his cheesy lines (which makes him not very scary to me) but if those were re-written and if he was a little more ruthless, but also died at the end of the show, the show would've been the best it could be. another thing i'd do would be to make Maggie a little more likeable because i did find myself rolling my eyes a little bit at the stupid things she'd do. and i wouldn't make her so much of the protagonist of the story, because she really shouldn't be. this isnt breaking bad and the writers aren't good enough to write a compelling protagonist that's an anti-hero/anti-villain/villain. they shouldve had negan be more of a center focus and point of view character rather than the writers trying to have this nuetral bias between the two, leaning towards negan at random times but then later towards maggie. it just felt a bit strange to me. overall i'd give this show a 6/10 with a potential to be an 7.5/10 if it was writen as good as it could've been

The only issue I had with the show was the little girl who’s father negan killed I hated her character she was the only character that I wanted to die but didn’t

Crazy arc where negan and Maggie reverse roles.

We loved it and are so frustrated we have to wait to see more. I had actually lost interest in TWD a long time ago but when I happened across the trailer for this, it sparked my interest. I don’t know that I’ll care much for the other spin-offs but I definitely love this one. Maggie and Negan are the team up I didn’t know I wanted lol.

[@someordinarydude9147]

It just didn't do it for me and I'm sad that's the case. I begrudgingly gave up on TWD after Carl died and always hoped something from the expanded universe will let this universe last a little bit longer for me. I gave this show an honest chance but idk. Maybe my relationship with TWD is like a soured intimate relationship, no matter what they do I can never care for it again.

[@michelle47043]

Yep me too

[@Lord_Pistachio_Nut]

I feel like Maggie is the antagonist actually. Negan is totally the protagonist of the entire series. This next season will be a character study on him. What will he do to keep Maggie's kid safe, and what evil shit will Maggie do in spite of him. One could argue the Croat and dame are the antagonists too but at the heart, Maggie is the evil within.

[@thebeastanccaldwell7579]

Can someone explain was Hershel involved in dama keeping negan

[@tanepukenga1421]

Looks like it so far, unless they change it next season. Most likely to keep his role now is either to spy (the Croat is a very good torturer) or to keep his mum away from Negan and danger, but they could give him any motivation later. All we know so far is he was with her long enough to draw her, his opinions on a heap of stuff did a complete 180 and his resentment towards his mum is now out in the open. He IS set up perfectly to take up Dwight's role from the Saviors arc and betray his mother to the Lady though. Do a reverse of their origin stories.

[@dragonvliss2426]

I never really bought Negan's "redemption" and still haven't forgiven him for Glenn's death. Negan returning to a more realistic position as a villain makes a lot of sense to me, and I will look forward to seeing how he adapts to life in the Manhattan of the Dama and the Croat. I love the acting of Jeffrey Dean Morgan, so I'll be glad to see more of him. Maggie is a character I can live without, but she doesn't annoy me sufficiently not to watch _Dead City_. Anything with post-apocalyptic New York is always fun. Also looking forward for sure to the Daryl Dixon spin-off.

[@tornicade]

He won't be the villain though. New Babylon will be villian. Also every action he takes will be considered what he needs to do to keep hershal and Maggie safe .... Which also serves his own interest ... Taking down Babylon .

[@jackskellington412]

the only thing i didnt like that much and was even said by Hershel himself in the last episode, Maggie as been focusing ONLY on Negan since her son was born. her character has had no big development since TWD season 7 when in reality, Glenn only died because Daryl disobeyed Negan. in reality Daryl has always been the responsible one for this stupid rrlation that makes Maggie boring af

[@papanurgle8393]

No, Negan is 100% responsible. I agree that her motivations are one dimensional, but it's not really surprising; you watch your spouse get beaten to death and see where your is head at afterwards.

[@jackskellington412]

@@papanurgle8393 i agree with what you are saying, but dedicating later years to finding revenge instead of parenting your fatherless kid properly feels kind of... stupid? under Rick's law and Carl's idea for the future, Negan was put in jail to suffer the consequences of all his actions. it wasn't a matter of Maggie to decide his fate EVEN up to this point which feels like they dragged her character throughout the rest of TWD and now dead city. and tbh, if it wasn't for Rick's group killing a bunch of Negan's men BRUTALLY, let me clear that idea, they wouldn't have been in a similar situation which originally would only result in one death: Abraham's. Daryl's action (i know he was in a bad state of mind) was enough to make the situation worse. and thats why i think the second death was his fault even if it wasn't intentional of him to punch Negan or the consequences of said punch: Glenn's death

[@tena2sweet]

I think them figuring out how to use the dead as a fuel source was pretty ingenious.

[@jonfreeman9682]

Well the Croat says he's a scientist and he discovered this method to create unlimited fuel and energy source. It seems the Marshall community leaders all want that technology for their own fuel needs too. So the Croat boss is right that other people will come for them. The only thing that doesn't make sense is why recruit Negan to lead them when they already have the Croat.
