the walking dead season 5 review
My Rating: 9.4/10
IMDb Rating: 8.6/10 TV.com Rating: 8.7/10 Metacritics Rating: 80/100 Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 90% *******Spoilers********** Just as intriguing as Season 4. Despite a rough lead up, this season still pulled off a solid opening episode with the crew led by Rick and their desperate attempt to escape Terminus. We get a small glimpse at the black dude from season 1 Episode 1. Unfortunately, not much more of him is seen until the end of the season. Than Ricks crew go on a road trip to find new shelter. Where they meet a priest and than find a gated community. But the struggles don't end their. Many deaths accumulate along the way such as Bob, Beth, and Tyreese. With their deaths came immense emotional stress for Sasha and Maggie. Who seem to have had the worst week of their lives. I was so disappointed in Tyreeses death because usually he is prepared and not so easily subdued. Anyway, Eugene's character is beginning to become one of my favourites because of how smart and funny he is. And his ability to take charge when needed and grow is pleasing to watch. I really enjoyed this season along with its massive amounts of internal group struggles along with a question that on anyone's mind after this season. And that is who are these guys that put "W" on their forehead and why are they trying to trap people? One thing that truly frustrates me is how ignorant everyone is toward exiling people as oppose to exterminating them. Also why can't people push zombies off of them? It's not like they are very strong and plus with that much adrenaline running and being in a life or death situation, you could easily push one off of you and than stab it in the head. Morgan (black guy from season 1) is my Favorite character, and he has been since season 1 just for the record. With my Second Favorite being Daryl, than Eugene. The final episode for season 5 was unbelievably good and despite season 6 not being on Netflix I had to find another way to watch it because of how hooked I am. To boot I am not excited to be caught up and having to wait for the next episode and be left to hang on these massive cliffhangers the show keeps pumping out. Just another thing I hated, why is Rick so horny. This random side bitch is gonna get him and more people killed. The only reason I rate this season lower than season 4 is because it is not as dark. Anyway, another great season. |
