Based on the comic book series written by Robert Kirkman, this gritty drama portrays life in the months and years that follow a zombie apocalypse. A group of survivors travel in search of safety and security, constantly on the move in search of a secure home. But the pressure each day to stay alive sends many in the group to the deepest depths of human cruelty, and they soon discover that the overwhelming fear of the survivors can be more deadly than the zombies walking among them. At times, the interpersonal conflicts present a greater threat to their continuing survival than the walkers that roam the country.

Amy Burns Independent (UK) There's always been a part of me asking "just how long can you be chased by zombies for before it all starts to get a bit boring?" And if last night's season six premiere was anything to go by, I now have my answer - about five series Oct 15, 2015 Full Review Mary McNamara Los Angeles Times The Walking Dead, more than any other show, takes responsibility for its carnage. The characters who remain carry the burden of those who do not. Oct 14, 2015 Full Review Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter Here's hoping the epic opening to season six points to a new, unfamiliar direction. Oct 12, 2015 Full Review Kelechi Ehenulo Confessions From A Geek Mind Despite the cop-out ending, The Walking Dead S6 still has moments of genuine class and thrills. Rated: 4/5 Jul 16, 2020 Full Review Randy Dankievitch TV Over Mind Instead, we get the march to nothingness that is "Last Day on Earth", as unsatisfying and brazenly manipulative a finale as you'll watch on television this year. Feb 11, 2020 Full Review Steve Wright SciFiNow You have a season that meanders around, but is rarely boring, which we haven't always been able to say for The Walking Dead. But we can now.

SkyRo P In this review, I’m going to encapsulate my thoughts on the first seven seasons of The Walking Dead, which I've thoroughly enjoyed. The inaugural season was nothing short of phenomenal; it expertly developed the characters and wove an engaging narrative filled with unexpected twists that kept viewers riveted. The storytelling was complemented by remarkable character arcs, which allowed us to witness the harrowing reality of a world overrun by zombies. It was a season that truly kept you on the edge of your seat. The second season maintained that high standard, further expanding the world and allowing us to delve deeper into the characters’ lives. The sudden, heartbreaking deaths of beloved characters made us feel deeply invested in their journeys, often leaving us emotionally shattered. Yet, amidst the despair, there was a glimmer of hope that set the stage for the events to come in season three. As we moved into season three, new families and camps emerged, contributing to the series' rich world-building. This season demanded your full attention, as it was filled with intense moments that would leave you gasping. It’s remarkable how, even after three seasons, the show continued to captivate and engage its audience. Season four kept the momentum going with thrilling adventures, shocking deaths, and the introduction of new characters alongside our familiar favorites. The stakes were ever higher, and the unpredictability of each episode had us on a rollercoaster of emotions, wondering what fate awaited our beloved characters. It was an exhilarating season that left viewers eager for more. Seasons five and six mirrored each other in their ability to expand the plot while maintaining the audience's investment in the characters. The layers of complexity grew thicker, introducing creative new threats and moments of heart-wrenching sadness. Although season six experienced a slight dip in intensity, it remained engaging enough to keep viewers hooked through the series' first six installments. Moving into season seven, while it still contributed to the overarching narrative and continued to build this expansive world, it felt like the weakest link in the chain. Although it wasn’t a bad season, it lacked the spark of its predecessors and left me wondering if the series was at risk of losing its momentum. After completing season seven, I found myself hesitant to dive straight into season eight. I felt too invested to walk away, yet I needed a pause to ensure I wouldn’t start to sour on the franchise I had come to love. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/21/25 Full Review Brandon S This season has some banger episodes - 6x2, 6x4, 6x9, and 6x16 being some of my personal favorites. I heard it gets bad after this season, but I also doubt it will since it's one of my favorite shows of all time and some of my friends like it past season six. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/20/25 Full Review cesar c for me it ends at season 6 for others will end sooner or later. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/01/24 Full Review Nad B I remember that back at the time it Was horrible for me to wait till the end for summer break It was always an agony dont know what some character will experience after Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/13/24 Full Review Jakey B This season focuses more on rebuilding than survival, but still finds so many ways to create expert tension through more walker action, human conflicts and cliff hangers. The first few episodes get immediately riveting leading to the episode 'No Way Out' that is probably the entire series best and would have been a perfect finale, yet after that the series only moves forward. Even with a few slower patches, still a great and fresh season with some of the best drama the Walking Dead has to offer. 9.6/10 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/23/24 Full Review No N From a binge standpoint this season is absolutely phenomenal. But back in the day I understand frustrations with the cliffhangers and waiting weeks for answers to be given on some subjects. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/03/24 Full Review Read all reviews
