Maggie and Negan travel into a post-apocalyptic Manhattan long ago cut off from the mainland; the crumbling city is filled with the dead and denizens who have made New York City their own world full of anarchy, danger, beauty and terror.

The Walking Dead: Dead City doesn’t really give the Walking Dead franchise anything new to examine.

Ten years ago, Morgan brought scads of charisma and menace to the role. A decade later, the franchise has wrung it all out of him. He hung on too long. Now it feels like he’s trapped in the character.

While it gets a little bogged down with too many characters, and sometimes prioritizes ambitious action sequences over cohesive storytelling, there's plenty here to enjoy...

Rated: 3.5/5

Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Lauren Cohen make the writer's job easy as they consistently deliver within Negan and Maggie, making Season 2 well worthy of a watch.

Rated: 7/10

There are still exciting moments here and there, but the most interesting part is just how much of a contrarian punk Hershel's become.

Rated: 6/10

Screen Rant

The Walking Dead: Dead City goes weirder in season 2, with more eccentric groups, all the while continuing its introspective look at Maggie and Negan.

Rated: 8/10

The story doesn't really go anywhere, but there are some good lines here and there and E07 was really the best TWD thing in many years. Hershel's "Mommy doesn't understand me" plot was absolutely boring and unrealistic in a post-apocalyptic setting! But I think the season worth a watch just for the good interactions between Croat, Negan and Maggie. It's also nice to see Armstrong, Ginny and the general city atmosphere, with the characters all already pretty crazy after years of this life.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

do not watch this series, or any related series. there were some good episodes or seasons of walking dead back in the day, but no matter what new coat of paint they put on the franchise, it's always the same boring crap

Episode 6 might be the worst piece of cinema I've ever experienced and I've seen a lot of shitty movies and/or series. The only good thing about this season is Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Everything from writing to acting is beyond mud level.
