The Walking Dead Episode(s) Review: S04E02 and S04E03

Snapshot from Ep. 4x02/03

Episode 4x02: Infected/ Episode 4x03: Isolation

So far so good. What I love about these two episodes is that it tries to develop individual characters and creating an interesting plot which Season 2 previously failed. It didn't try to fit all the elements in one pacing but instead it slowly builds up its momentum providing enough substance, quality storytelling and gore which interestingly enough you don't get to see in zombie movies nowadays.
 
In Episode 2, the story took quite a unpredictable turn with providing another twist that endlessly put the plight of our survivors into the edge. Providing that the people has created a community that enables them to at least try and live a seemingly normal life in a bizarre and dangerous situation. We see how the events has helped bring closer the people and have functional roles to help further their survival. It is noted also that even children are given responsibilities and expose them at a very early age to learn to survive and even KILL the closest people to them when they turn.
 
Episode 3 is probably one of the best episodes from the whole series. Aside from the hordes of zombies, the episode has plenty of heart and you feel for the characters and understand their position and predicament better. Especially Hershel. The man has become an anchor somewhat by the whole group, gives them perspective and helps them maintain their humanity despite the circumstances.
 
It's hard to make a review of the episodes without giving too much information. But because there are so many twists, I do not want to spoil it for you. On the other hand, these two are a MUST- SEE! 
 
I hope the producers, writers, and show runner can keep giving us quality zombie TV. I think the series is back in full force. Great episodes. Quite excited for the next one. I hope it is as good as the promo trailer.  

Rating: 9/10 (4x02) and 10/10 (4x03)
