"Embrace the Contradiction" Tristan Mayer reviews The Walking Dead Season 7 Episode 2 'The Well'

Last week on The Walking Dead, Negan made a smashing entrance, knocking sense and loyalty into the group and sparking intense debate and conversation in the fandom.  While some praised the envelope-pushing violence and intense performances, many wondered if the show had gone too far or fallen deeply into unrealistic pessimism.  The episode destroyed in ratings and generated passionate discussion.  Could the second episode live up to the impact of the first?  Or would it sizzle out the excitement the show has regenerated?

The Walking Dead Season 7 Premiere Review:

"The Day Will Come When You Won’t Be"

              The Walking Dead Season 6 ended on what I consider to be one of the most insulting and cheaply executed cliffhangers of recent memory.  The type of gimmicky behavior commonplace in soap operas, no the Emmy-worthy drama that The Walking Dead likes to say it is.  After a sixth season of ups and downs, The Walking Dead had begun to lose me as a fan, and as someone who had been watching the show since it premiered and still reads every issue of the source material, that was a severely disappointing realization.  Through the teasing marketing and undeniable leaked evidence, I began to wonder if this season premier could be enough to bring me back or if the true victim of Negan’s brutality would be my desire to keep viewing.
