Review

great show that continues to entertain. rick is one of those tortured male characters who has to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders. sometimes he goes too far, but we always understand considering what he’s had to deal with and what his responsibilities are. this contrasts well with michonne’s character who is a bad ass female who is trying to tug the group back towards civilization and their humanity, rather than simple survival. both are really tough hills to climb and that is shown through the series. some major characters were lost in this season and that’s always a sad and necessary reminder that this show is about a true apocalypse situation. just because we like a character doesn’t mean they get to stick around. sometimes their humanity is their weakness. other times it’s just bad luck or stupidity. good show.
