![]() With its behind-the-scenes creative reshuffle (Angela Kang taking over from Scott Gimple as showrunner), big name departures (Andrew Grimes and Lauren Cohen exiting as Rick and Maggie respectively), and three curveball time jumps, The Walking Dead has finally discovered a late game identity that could sustain it through to season 10 and beyond. ![]() It's easy for viewers to forget that these new characters don't have years of experience in the zombie world, so it just looks like some weird virus that makes people crazy and hard to kill.What will The Walking Dead movies be about? If you want to enjoy this show, turn off your silly expectations about it being like TWD, and just watch while convincingly-real and flawed humans deal with a fast-moving crisis that no one seems to understand. It offers nothing in the way of explaining the zombies (that's a good thing), but is showing really well how panic and mobs of humans actually paved the way for zombies to swoop right in and eat everyone. I could gripe about the things I don't like, but they are minor when compared to the fact that I'm really enjoying watching how things progressed while Rick was in a coma.
