I'm curious to see how well The Walking Dead will do in theaters... I think it will be an enticing way to keep Danai Gurira and Jeffrey Dean Morgan involved in the series longer.
I like what they've done with the time jump. Obviously nothing tops those first few seasons, but it's a step up from seasons 7 and 8.
Negan is kind of the "Loki" of TWD. I like how they've stepped him back from 'murderous thug' to just being more snarky and mischievous. It's more interesting and entertaining.
