The best series premiere i have ever seen
16 July 2016
Warning: Spoilers
I thought i'd begin by saying that i have just began watching twd and i thought i would review each episode title, all the way up until the season 6 finale. I have done this for Jessica Jones and Game of Thrones too.

Anyway, this is not a 9.2. This is easily a 9.5. It was without a doubt the best series premiere i have ever seen. And the shocking part about it, we only met about 5 characters and two of them aren't even series regulars. Lennie James and Andrew Lincoln ( who are BOTH British) were absolutely phenomenal, it was the best acting I've ever seen, and I'm shocked that i have previously read Game Of Thrones is a better acted show, this episode alone defeats any episode of GoT.

I must admit i found this episode to be more upsetting and emotional than scary and frightening however, in a weird way it was exactly them 4 things. The opening shot of Rick shooting the zombie girl in the head was f*****g scary but at the same time, deeply emotional. Then you have literally every scene with Morgan were James and Lincoln shine powerfully ( sorry i know I've re-iterated the same point aha). But of course, the ending scene explains to me why this show is labelled as gory and disgusting. after 40-50 minutes of deep emotions and incredible acting, the episode was topped off with Rick's horse being completely devoured by the walkers, and Rick hiding in the tank. It was a great cliffhanger to an even better cliffhanger.

If the show is constantly like this, then i will be very confused as to how this show has received an 8.6 rating, while the highly overrated Game of Thrones is a 9.5. if you have any problems with this, send a message to me on instagram or snapchat - jonnyedwards2, both are the same username.

Also, shout out to Greg Nicotero for his disgusting work!
