Finally, the show sticks to its strengths and finds the magic that the old school Walking Dead had.
The episode wasn't clear of cringy dialogue or boring character journeys by any means (mainly Rick's lines early on and Thorn's character in general is lacking), but the good vastly outshined the bad this time.
The setpieces looked incredible, the music was fantastic and the world felt alive. It is satisfying to see the "true" Rick unravel from the shell of this broken man. Michonne is once again fantastic in every scene she's in. The action was fun and satisfying and felt like true TWD.
Jadis was one of the worst villains in the original series, yet here she's absolutely phenomenal and with a great performance from the actress to match.
I liked the callbacks in the episode as well, especially with Thorn acting like Shane.
Overall, a good episode. Hoping this trend continues for the next 3 episodes.
