Review: ‘The Walking Dead’ 100th Episode

‘The Walking Dead’ on AMC is back, and Rick is ready to battle it out with Negan in hopes of rebuilding society.

It is always good to have ‘The Walking Dead’ back on the air, but the writing of this episode prevents the viewer from going on a season-long journey with Rick. ‘Mercy’ explained more than it needed, the best experience is when the viewer can react and grow with the show. When too much is revealed, the viewer gets pulled out of the episode as the intrigue is diminished.

Season 8, Episode 1 ‘Mercy’
Rick and his group, along with the Kingdom and Hilltop, have banded together to bring the fight to Negan and the Saviors.
