Well this was long... Very long. As a whole the Season was decent, wasn't anything special but it wasn't awful. It had some really good moments and some really boring moments, unfortunately to me they all ended up being a tad bit unmemorable. You can tell they've started trying to make the show a lot more horror again and its definitely a good thing, in fact it's one of the saving graces for season 10.
With Daryl now the central character and having a lot more screen time I've come to realise he's not too good as the main character. Whenever he's given long talks or people look at him as the leader it seems way, way too forced. He comes across as cringe and uncomfortable. If anything they should have given the main character role to Jeffrey Dean Morgan's Negan, I feel like that would have been a lot better for conversation and storytelling.
If I'm honest I can't remember much of Season 10 due to the ridiculous gaps, this season just felt like a massive blur and the only emotion that sparks when I think back on it is boredom. The season pretty much ended on episode 15, the unnecessary wait for the finale (due to covid - weird how no other show struggled with the things TWD struggled with huh?) caused a lot of hype for me to die down. I remember finding out it was delayed and then just completely forgetting about the show.
With this season I'd say the best moments are when Alpha dies and finally when Beta dies... Conveniently two moments where Negan is involved. Jeffrey Dean Morgan absolutely carries this show and without him it'd be an even bigger disaster. The scene where he killed Alpha was executed to perfection, I had slowly started to actually like Alpha and seeing her have her head chopped off was crazy. I loved Negan's smug little face afterwards. With the finale fight scene with Negan & Daryl vs Beta I was incredibly disappointed with how short it was BUT seeing as there wasn't much else to compare it too in this season it ended up standing out.
Overall this season was OK. In my eyes its a highly forgettable season and when you look back on The Walking Dead this won't be a season that will be a big conversation topic. Honestly it's a shame its gone downhill like this because I really do love The Walking Dead but this season was yet another snoozefest and I kept finding myself not wanting to watch certain episodes or losing my focus half way through.
This Season proves that The Walking Dead is in fact a Zombie of its former self and thankfully the end is near with Season 11 being its final. Part of me can really understand why certain actors have left. Its a shame that this season was an improvement compared to others.
