Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Negan, Lauren Cohan as Maggie Rhee - The Walking Dead: Dead City _ Season 1 - ... [+]
I haven’t been an enthusiastic fan of The Walking Dead in a very long time. The main show bounced back from a disastrous two-season Savior War era and gave us a pretty good Whisperer arc, but the show went out with a whimper in long slog of a final season. Meanwhile, spinoffs Fear The Walking Dead and World Beyond have been mostly awful. The series as a whole has been mediocre at best lately, and for many viewers it’s worn out its welcome.
But I have to admit, The Walking Dead: Dead City actually looks really good. At least whoever made the latest trailer did a damn good job, because for the first time my interest is piqued. Check it out:
After the last trailer, I was feeling pretty skeptical of this show, and spent most of my post joking around about how Maggie and Negan should hook up (mostly because a lot of people really react angrily to that suggestion, which I find hilarious).
I’m whistling a different tune after watching this trailer, however. Several things are working for me here:
Dead City
Mostly, this was just a top-notch trailer with good music and editing that makes the whole thing look quite a lot more exciting and tense than anything we’ve seen from The Walking Dead in a hot minute. What do you think? Let me know on Twitter or Facebook.
Oh, and AMC also released key art for the show with the tagline “Keep your enemies close.” Maybe “The enemy of my enemy is my friend” would be more fitting.
