Review of Strangers

The Walking Dead: Strangers (2014)
Season 5, Episode 2
8/10
Nice to see a bit of smiling and warmth
20 December 2021
Rick and 'family' move on to discover a church and it's priest.

This is a strong episode with nice character moments, a very brief respite from the drama of 'No Sanctuary', and yet more dark, suspenseful twists in its tail.

'The Walking Dead' is such a bleak show at times you have to savour the warm moments as much as the characters do. People welcoming new faces, looking out for each other and considering those who are not related to themselves as family are welcome breaks from the usual brutality. It is very much needed before the plot eventually takes a sharp turn for the dramatic.

I won't ruin the plot by saying any more about it.

As ever the production values are excellent as we have great cinematography, editing, lighting, art direction, and zombie effects.

All performances are as strong as always, particularly Andrew Lincoln and Seth Gilliam.
