The Walking Dead: Dead City, the worst series of the week: let her die in peace

When The Walking Dead began to reproduce and had almost exhausted its fertility. Fear The Walking Deadhis first daughter, arrived when the parent series was not yet exhausted fiction, but all subsequent spin-offs from the work of Greg Nicotero and Frank Darabont they were born already tired. However, and apparently there is still a vein to be exploited in The Walking Dead, because his universe not only continues to give rise to other series, but he was also able to afford to pay Darabont a good deal a few years ago after he won a claim on account of the economic returns of the series he created. AMC, owner of the series, had to shell out $200 million.

Today, after the closure of that original series and the most youthful World Beyonda Fear The Walking Dead He still has half a season left. Before it arrives, so we don’t miss the rotten walkers, a new TWD has hit AMC+ screens.

The Walking Dead: Dead City allow yourself the luxury of being repetitive from its own title. Two of the five words that compose it are the same: dead. With this, any satire on Hollywood would make a joke. The Walking Dead: Dead City he doesn’t even think about it.

At this point in the (zombie) movie we are more than ready for The Walking Dead dare to explore other genres. Why? Why not. Why not a comedy The last man on earth. why not one Revolutionary Road of couples trapped in one of the multiple post-apocalyptic protocity that the series (sorry: the series) have shown us. Or a parody. And why not prevent so much drama from becoming that, a parody.

The multiple iterations and seasons of The Walking Dead They have given us compelling plots, compelling scenes, and original findings: Deanna’s (Tovah Feldshuh) soft dictatorship in Alexandria, Hershel’s (Scott Wilson) farm’s parenthesis of sinister bucolicism, the deaths of many characters, Victor’s boat ( Colman Domingo) or, of course, Negan. Even more anticipated than Michonne (Danai Gurira) and her swords, the villain played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan was one of the concept characters that reminded us how fucked up is the universe that Robert Kirkman raised in his comics: there is no hope, all is lost, staying alive is more of a metaphysical choice than a practical choice. And then the series, since it didn’t want to do without him, decided to tame him.
