I had to watch the whole thing for a second time to decide I had to post this review. Sometimes you think it's you. Well, it's not me. It was an appalling, sentimental, over-wrought, badly written, acted, and executed pile of dog turd. I didn't for one minute believe that Rick and Michonne had this celestial love bond that was so intense, it could conquer the world. I will concede that it was brave to play Rick against his established character from the outset, apart from that - when a script needs to constantly remind you that together this pair is unbeatable - you're in trouble. I've stuck with this show from beginning to end. In my humble opinion, the first ep of season 1 stands as the cornerstone of all opening seasons, ever. But this pile of mushy blah, sheez louise. Why? There isn't a woman in the world that would buy Michonne's nonsensical 'gotta find my man' schtick against 'gotta save my kids' in a universe of human eaters. Ah stop already.
