Feb 14, 2024 · The sequel series follows Rick and Michonne's reunion after six years apart, but suffers from a slow pace and murky villains. The review praises the performances of Andrew Lincoln and Danai Gurira, but criticizes the plot and the CRM as anticlimactic.

The following is a spoiler-free advance review of the first four episodes of The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live, which premieres Sunday, Febraury 25 on AMC and AMC+.
The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live marks a strong, welcome return for previous franchise anchors Andrew Lincoln and Danai Gurira. The spin-off is emotional, gripping, and very wise when it comes to explaining where their characters wound up after they peeled off from The Walking Dead.
That's paramount, right? Not just explaining their long absence and what Rick Grimes (Lincoln) and Michonne (Gurira) have been doing but also, in a way, justifying their departures from the parent series within a story that tricks us into thinking everyone involved knew what they were doing the entire time. The Ones Who Live accomplishes this in spades, though not without falling into some tired storytelling traps.

Lincoln is in top form as well, playing a fundamentally shattered Rick. His anguish is key to all of this: When Lincoln left The Walking Dead in 2018, viewers had to reckon with why Rick never returned after flying away in that Civic Republic Military helicopter. Something must've gone horribly awry: Rick’s a tooth-and-nail fighter, and it would seem like no force on Earth could stop him from getting back to his loved ones. Addressing these questions is the herculean task of The Ones Who Live – and the show nails it. It takes us through the agony, the defeat, the shame, and then the cerebral rewiring that happens to the traumatized. And, through four of its six episodes, it all makes for some moving “full circle” Walking Dead.
There is a frustratingly long list of information this review can't divulge – some I get, for spoilers’ sake, while others are confoundingly benign – but what you’ll find in The Ones Who Live are two people waging a war to get back to one another. And after most of the physical dangers are met head on, emotional hurdles remain. There’s a “time out” that occurs that you'll wish a lot of other shows would attempt with characters who aren’t on the same page for half-assed reasons. Amid the grandeur of the CRM and its plans for the world, there's a unique theme about humanity’s next steps forward. What do we do after everything falls apart? It’s about making small stories important within a movement obsessed with the “big picture.”
Rounding out the cast are Craig Tate, Lesley-Ann Brandt, Terry O’Quinn, and – of course – a returning Pollyanna McIntosh, while Matthew August Jeffers provides a pivotal part of Michonne’s journey. They’re all important in varying ways, making it even more irritating to look back at most of The Walking Dead’s final years and all the new characters who retreated into an indistinguishable "blah" after their initial moments in the spotlight. The Ones Who Live is focused on telling a complete tale, with little wasted movement, showcasing how much you have to scrape and claw to find and foster true love and intimacy in a world dedicated to survival at all costs.
With powerful performances from its two leads, The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live is an honest, arduous love story pitting Rick's stubbornness against Michonne's in a battle to give proper closure to one of the few remaining hopeful things about the entire saga. For the two-thirds of the series I’ve seen, it hits the mark exceptionally, save for a...

great
The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live gives us an appropriately reverent Rick and Michonne love story, even making the villains interesting in the process.

The Ones Who Live is a mini-series that explains where Rick and Michonne went after they left The Walking Dead. It's emotional, gripping, and wise, but also falls into some tired storytelling traps.
