TWD The Ones Who Live

Season One Episode One

Rick and Michonne are back with their own spin off to The Walking Dead. It was a great first episode. The premier was Sunday on AMC+.

We finally find out where Rick went after the explosion on the bridge. He is in the new city and not happy to be there. He has tried to escape from this city at least three times. The last time, Rick loses a body part.

They didn’t show Michonne a lot yet. Only a few clips of him thinking about her. Now I know he is trying to get back to her, but what about his kids. Not once did they mention them. He did say he was trying to get back home, so maybe that meant the kids.

Rick has taken a new role in the city and he thinks this will be a better way for him to escape. He becomes something like a guard and I assume they protect the city.

Don’t want to give you too many details, but you will love the first show especially if you are Walking Dead fan.
