"You're not saving the world, Rick.
You're just getting it ready for me."

The way togetherness and leadership (Rick) are expressed in 'The Bridge' is a little cheesy but overall, the episode is good and shows more signs that Angela Kang, the brand new showrunner, is taking this season in a much better direction than the last.

This season has already done very well with introducing new characters and romantic relationships (Carol and Ezekiel really works), and this episode spends a lot of time building these, but that's not all. There's some action and certainly some tension too. Zach McGowan (Jody from Shameless) had a huge role in this episode and the whole thing managed to jump through different locations and characters without seeming messy. The main shock would be Aaron getting his arm amputated, but my personal favourite scenes were the alcoholic prisoner at the Hilltop, and the conversation between Rick and Negan (where the episode peaks).

Not as strong as last week's premiere, but a good episode that felt worthy of my time.
