There have been various problems with the side plots occurring within certain storylines that take away from what could have otherwise been very solid episodes. I had plenty of issues with the handling of the Governor and the way that was wrapped up last season. Of course, this is not the first time The Walking Dead has struggled with its mid-season finale or even the conclusion to major arcs in the series, in general. This week, I really wish it could have gone that extra mile and given us more than just shock value to talk about.
#The walking dead coda series
These past several weeks I have been happy to give praise to a series that has fought an uphill battle to have its quality match its popularity. Sure, shocking deaths are shocking (even with AMC’s social media team having done their best to ruin what happened hours before the west coast broadcast) and yes, the production is solid enough to make for some effective zombie-based action (which this show has always been capable of), but I honestly felt let down, given the strong set up in the prior weeks. As strong as season 5 of The Walking Dead has been for the most part, here we are with the mid-season finale, which delivered a very strong first five minutes and a compelling enough final five minutes (after the credits), with a lot of mixed material in between.
