Help Maggie Alden survive

In the Alexandria sequence, The Walking Dead barely advances its plan. Hunted’s best moment is the hunt for Shredders by Maggie’s group, which rescues the distinct horror of the attraction’s early seasons.

The absence of the core of Princesa (Juanita Sanchez), who was about to enter the Commonwealth, was missed, and could lead to an excess of oxygen in the ring. The introduction of the New World Order arc promises to move the series’ last season, but the decision to fool the audience with unnecessary subplots could alienate a portion of fans who remain loyal to the attraction.

The new episode of The Walking Dead is available exclusively on Star +, as well as the entire eleventh season of the series. Watch a teaser below:
