*Spoilers ahead on both Dead City and the original Walking Dead show. Read at your own discretion.

The Walking Dead: Dead City is a spinoff of the AMC show, The Walking Dead. In the original, Negan and Maggie become mortal enemies after Negan kills Maggie’s husband, Glenn, by beating him with a baseball bat named Lucille (named after Negan’s late wife). After a large-scale war between Negan’s community and Maggie’s (along with Rick Grimes), Negan is imprisoned for over seven years.

After the Whisperers’ War and the Commonwealth storyline, Negan eventually leaves with his wife for another five or six years, with Maggie still not forgiving Negan for her husband’s death. Now, in Dead City, we meet Maggie and Negan again. The only problem with this is that they now have to team up with each other.

Maggie’s son, Hershel, had been kidnapped by one of the apocalyptic gangs, the Burazi (with the Croat leading them), and Negan is going to help her get him back. We see who Negan really is several times (such as the scene where he says “it’s about to god damn rain”) even though he’s trying to change his ways.

Maggie still holds a grudge against Negan, but she realizes that her feelings have to wait and that finding her son should be the most important mission right now. After battling apocalyptic gangs and trying to avoid the walkers, they finally find Hershel; however, he not only is missing his toe, but he shows a lot of resentment towards his mother.

IMDB rates the show a 6/10 because it lacked the charisma from the original show. The show did seem to lack the charisma, and all the conflict seemed to be entirely between people rather than walkers. In the original, there was always conflict with both walkers and people. In Dead City, however, it seemed to revolve entirely around people. Overall, the show wasn’t bad, but boring at times due its centralized conflict with protagonists and antagonists: walkers weren’t much of a threat.
