8 shows I'm watching in June
Advanced previews of "I'm a Virgo" and "The Walking Dead: Dead City" included.
8. [Advanced Preview] The Walking Dead: Dead City (June 18 on AMC)
☑ My score: 60/100
☑ 6 episodes x 40-something minutes x 1 season
I reviewed the new Walking Dead sequel series for TheWrap, if you’re interested. Despite it being probably their strongest spin-off yet, it doesn’t bring anything new to the table. To me, the Walking Dead universe desperately needs a new angle to their storytelling, particularly in a landscape where we have The Last of Us. Dead City isn’t without its draws, though: Lauren Cohan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan are quite talented at elevating mediocre material.
☑ Is it gay? Nope. Remember when Merritt Wever played a lesbian on the original series and got shot in the eye with an arrow mid-monologue? That’s not relevant here but I just wanted to mention it.
