- TriviaFirst Appearance of Tyresse (Chad L. Coleman) and Sasha Williams (Sonequa Martin-Green).
- GoofsWhen Tyreese's group is attacked by walkers in the woods Donna is screaming her head off, which just attracts more walkers. At this point it has been a good year since the fall, those that have survived this long would not be screaming like a frightened child every time they saw a walker, those that couldn't learn to break that habit would have died long ago. In fact had she been quiet and her screaming had not attracted even more walkers she might not have gotten bitten.
- Quotes
Axel: I didn't mean no offense. I've been locked up a long while and, well, there weren't many women. You following me? I mean, Maggie, she's with Glenn and you're a lesbian. I was just talking with her.
Carol Peletier: I'm not a lesbian.
Axel: You got the... short hair. You're not a lesbian? My, my, this is interesting.
Carol Peletier: No, it's not.
- ConnectionsFeatured in The Walking Dead: The Journey So Far (2016)
Actually really liked Season 2, where the weakest episode ("Cherokee Rose") was very good still, but do share others' feelings about many episodes being on the talky side and moments of slowness. Season 3 started excellently and keeps going strong with one of the season's best "Made to Suffer", which was brilliant. And a strong reminder of how Seasons 1-5 of 'The Walking Dead' to me were absolutely brilliant and seeing the show in its full glory days (Season 6 was uneven, Season 7 was a huge disappointment and am still debating whether to watch Season 8). It is as emotional, complex and as tense as one would expect , at the same time it has adrenaline and guts.
It still shocks me at how an intelligent, well-made (so much so that it is easy to mistake it for a film) show about zombies could be made when so many films have tried and failed abysmally to do so.
"Made to Suffer" is one of the tightest, most exciting, most harrowing, most suspenseful and most emotionally investable episodes of the show in general. One of the season's best.
Like all the episodes of the show, "Made to Suffer" is incredibly well made in the production values, with gritty and audacious production design, photography of almost cinematic quality, effects that look good, have soul and are not overused or abused and pretty frightening make-up. The music is haunting and affecting, having presence but never being too intrusive.
The writing generally is intelligent and thought-provoking, with lots of tension and emotional resonance and still shows signs of character complexity and multiple layer storytelling. The more eventful scenes are thrilling and terrifying as well as uncompromising.
Appreciated the ever strong and still progressing story and character building. The human drama is balanced well with the action, which the episode wastes no time in getting to. Also that the pace is never dull or rushed. There is a lot of tension and the ending is memorable.
Everything is tautly paced without rushing through the more important parts and emotionally complex. The world building is stunningly immersive and effective. Direction is smart and atmospheric while the show throughout has been strongly acted. Andrew Lincoln is superb, as is Norman Reedus (even more so in fact). Laurie Holden does a good job and Andrea's interesting development is appreciated, though at times she is written rather too naively (my only small complaint of the episode but over-lookable with everything else being so exceptional). David Morrisey is suitably sinister and mysterious.
Overall, brilliant. 10/10 Bethany Cox
