United States	Matt Fowler IGN	"[10th Season Review]: Awesome action bookends a decent season opener"	POS
United States	John Saavedra Den of Geek	"[10th Season Review]: [It] kicks off with the most audacious opening scene in the show's history (...) A great success (…) Rating: ★★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Jeff Stone IndieWire	"[10th Season Review]: The season gets off to a solid, if sedate, start."	POS
United States	Vinnie Mancuso Collider	"[10th Season Review]: As it heads into season 10 I can’t help but be impressed that this gruesome, monstrous thing is also still very much alive. Put another way: Ah crap, The Walking Dead is good again."	POS
United States	Erik Kain Forbes	"[10th Season Review]: [It] has found its feet once again."	POS
United States	Joe Otterson Variety	"[9th Season Review]: An impressive mix of action, horror, comedy, and genuine emotion, hearkening back to some of the best episodes in the show's history."	POS
United States	Jeff Stone IndieWire	"[9th Season Review]: A new showrunner and a new direction get Season 9 off to a hopeful start."	POS
United States	Richard Rys Vulture	"[9th Season Review]: We’ll need a few more episodes to see how the conflicts deepen and whether a deeper focus on character makes for more compelling drama."	NEU
United States	Matt Fowler IGN	"[9th Season Review]: [It] utilizes a bunch of the show's time-honored, and tired, tricks. Thankfully, for now, the story [has] (...) a more subtle and believable build in hostilities."	POS
United States	John Squires Bloody Disgusting	"[9th Season Review]: While relatively uneventful in terms of storyline progression (...) [it] brought a whole new look, mood and atmosphere to the show."	POS
United States	Alex McLevy AV Club	"[9th Season Review]: 'The Walking Dead' is actually showing real signs of life."	POS
United States	John Saavedra Den of Geek	[9th Season Review]: [It] feels at times, as if going down a checklist of the show's most tired tropes."	NEG
United States	Mike Hale The New York Times	"[8th Season Review]: The urge to expand the story beyond the constant flight from mindless flesh-munchers is understandable. But much of the dread, as well as emotional urgency, has gone out of the show in the process"	NEU
United Kingdom	Aodhan Gregory The Guardian	"[8th Season Review]: Things are about to get very, very interesting (...) It looks like 'Walking Dead' finally has its mojo back."	POS
United States	Brian Lowry CNN	"[8th Season Review]: [It] can get back to the bloody business of the battle for authority over this bleak world (...) Tantalizing as that sounds, creatively speaking, the show's best days appear to be behind it."	NEU
United States	Noel Murray Rolling Stone	"[8th Season Review]: What was once an intriguing, action-filled hit show has now become one long slog – a postmortem on what’s gone wrong"	NEG
United States	Phil Owen The Wrap	"[8th Season Review]: In essence, they might actually turn 'The Walking Dead' into a show we love, instead of just a show we love to hate."	POS
United States	Meredith Woerner Los Angeles Times	"[7th Season Review]: It’s discomfiting to see 'Walking Dead' double down on misery when there’s already been so much of it."	NEG
United Kingdom	Luke Holland The Guardian	"[7th Season Review]: The zombie apocalypse has never been so dull. This season isn’t a slow-build, it’s a soporific endurance test"	NEG
Canada	John Doyle The Globe and Mail	"[7th Season Review]: Verbosity, not violence, is undermining 'The Walking Dead' (...) The show will continue to be gripping, grim and, yes, shockingly violent."	NEU
United States	Jeff Stone IndieWire	"[7th Season Review]: Season 7 premiere is the show at its worst (...) It was miserable, and tedious, and made me feel bad. Not in an emotionally compelling way"	NEG
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"[6th Season Review]: The show has constantly reinvented itself by both shifting venues and turning over characters, a formula that has kept the program’s soap opera aspects fresh, even if the threat from marauding zombies remains continuous."	POS
United States	Mike Hale The New York Times	[6th Season Review]: "'The Walking Dead' (...) [is] willing to go as big as possible in emotion, melodrama, violence, horror, nobility and, crucially, spectacle."	POS
United Kingdom	Brian Moylan The Guardian	"[6th Season Review]: More numerous and foul zombies are well and good, but it's the humans that really make this a show worth investing in."	POS
United States	Richard Lawson Vanity Fair	"[6th Season Review]: To combat that feeling, of having lost some connection to the original series, something's gotta change on 'The Walking Dead', I think. Something big."	NEU
United States	Mary McNamara Los Angeles Times	"'The Walking Dead' (...) believes in the importance of monsters, perfectly balancing the struggle of basic human decency with those palsied four-in-the-morning moments when we are convinced that everyone around us is trying to eat us alive' (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Alessandra Stanley The New York Times	"The television adaptation is surprisingly scary and remarkably good, a show that visually echoes the stylized comic-book aesthetic of the original and combines elegant suspense with gratifyingly crude and gruesome slasher-film gore".	POS
United States	Robert Bianco USA Today	"Taken as a fright fest, pure and simple, Dead succeeds admirably well, capturing the terror and confusion of waking up in a world where you've gone from person to endangered-species zombie food (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"Darabont and his cast excel at conjuring up a taut social study, but let the horror scenes fall oddly flat (...) Despite that, the show is undeniably intriguing and creepily contemporary"	POS
United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"Darabont uses the TV-series format to break convention not only by defying the predictabilities of the horror genre (boo!) but also by infusing the recipe with more storytelling elan"	POS
United States	Matt Roush TV Guide	"If you can handle it, 'The Walking Dead' is grade-A terror"	POS
