"Home Sweet Home," the first episode of The Walking Dead’s extended 10th season, was released Sunday, February 21 on AMC+ -- one week ahead of its Sunday, February 28 premiere on AMC. This is a mostly spoiler-free review for anyone who's watched the episode's early debut or wants a hint of what to expect before the show's cable return.
After COVID delays bumped The Walking Dead's original Season 10 finale, "A Certain Doom," by several months, the franchise spun into its own form of damage control. By the time the fall rolled around, AMC announced that, in lieu of Season 11, which would have been in production and airing episodes already, it would extend the show's 10th season by six episodes (while also announcing the official end of the show and a Carol/Daryl spinoff in development).
Though there's no more Whisperer War to speak of, these six episodes are meant to act as a creative bridge for our characters as they sort out a bunch of their angry, resentful, complicated emotions before heading into Season 11. That's not to say there won't be some interesting things happening during this mini-run, but all in all, these arcs might just be the things that usually happen off-screen, in the weeks and months we tend to skip over between seasons. At the very least, when the dust settles, we'll have gotten some long-awaited Negan flashbacks.
"Home Sweet Home" does involve Angel Theory's Kelly a bit more than usual, who's one of the many underserved characters in this show's massive ensemble (honestly, most of them come from Magda's group that arrived in during Season 9). Connie's still missing (as actress Lauren Ridloff dropped away briefly to film Marvel's Eternals) so Kelly and Daryl, intermittently, are hunting down clues for her. This doesn't mean Kelly's all of a sudden a nurtured character on the series, but it's still good to see them get more screen time than usual.
Usually, the anticipation of where The Walking Dead is headed and how that lines up with the comic series keeps many fans (still) glued to this show. The crux of this is the enjoyment of seeing new adversaries, obstacles, and tragedies. And we're currently headed towards the comics' big final endgame setting - The Commonwealth. The new villains introduced here in "Home Sweet Home," who are expected to get taken care of before Season 11 officially starts, feel fairly tacked on. Though, to be fair, you can't really expect the show to run for six episodes purely on character stoicism and/or rumination, so it makes sense to have some stalkers out there. None of them look as cool though as Maggie's cohort, Elijah (Okea Eme-Akwari), who seems to operate like The Walking Dead's Snake Eyes at this point, downing foes with Japanese kama blades.
"Home Sweet Home," though juiced up with some explosive scenes of action, is a somewhat dull revisiting of Maggie's resentment and anger toward Negan. It's an understandable emotion for her to continue to wallow in, sure, but as viewers we're years beyond this now, in the show and in real life, leaving this attempt to recapture the thread sort of t...
