Episode 4 had exactly the same problems, to the point that I didn’t even review it because I couldn’t see any way to do so without simply copy-pasting my Episode 3 review. With the release of Episode 5: From the Gallows bringing the series to a close, and the blessing of hindsight, I can safely answer my own rhetorical question: The Walking Dead is a series that should be left to rest in peace, having well and truly run its course.Īny hope of A New Frontier being an introspective critique of its own foundations quickly gave way in Episode 3, a meandering series of zombie cliches and by-the-numbers character drama with none of the emotional depth that makes those things tick.
Here was a game that felt a little bit too familiar, yet with a self-awareness that hinted at a clever parody of the whole played-out genre of zombie apocalypse fiction. Those were the concluding remarks of my of the double-episode debut of The Walking Dead: A New Frontier. At the same time, I don’t wonder if The Walking Dead is something that needs to stay buried – not because it’s bad, but because it’s run its course.” The first two episodes sow some interesting seeds as far as plot goes, and I’m invested enough that I’m looking forward to seeing where things go. “I’m looking forward to seeing what the rest of the season has in store, particularly as far as the relationship between Clem and Javi is concerned.
