The Walking Dead – ‘Walk With Us’ Review

Last week, I was unsure how the gang would escape. But I was still pretty confident that they would escape. But in ‘Walk With Us’, Hilltop is not just beaten, it’s decimated. And all of the heroes are thrown to the wind.

The Walking Dead – ‘Stalker’ Review

Taking its cues from the slasher films of the 70s and 80s, ‘Stalker’ is a thrilling episode of the show as Alpha and Beta find themselves in two very different fights.

The Walking Dead – ‘Squeeze’ Review

The Walking Dead is back! After a strong couple of seasons, the show returns with aplomb and delivers an episode that’s terrifying in a number of different ways.

So there we have it, another half-season gone in the blink of an eye.

The Walking Dead – ‘Bounty’ Review

‘Bounty’ is one of the best episodes in the show’s long run. It has two tonally opposite plot threads and both work perfectly. There’s a great mix of thrills and humour, and some really tense moments.
