The first 3 episodes were excellent, the next 3 were okayish, the last 3 were atrocious.
BEWARE. Check each episode's comments, because (at least) episodes 2-4 have NOTHING to do with Black Mirror's premise. Season 6 is as appropriate to Black Mirror as a season of Punky Brewster episodes would be if they were promoted as a new season of The Sopranos.
I love Thandie Newton as DCI Roz Huntley!

A very cool season that starts kind of slow, but really picks itself up the second half. I loved the way they keep expanding the story of the Mandalorians in the Star Wars universe as I believe they are one of the most interesting characters in the series.
ugly blue tint color filter makes me sleepy, or maybe its the story, acting, writing, editing...
Unfortunately, this season is utter garbage. If you think about it, you have funny\cringy characters from the best sitcoms of modern times and then what... Nothing. It appears you have to give them a story, something they can act upon. A coherent script maybe?
Still as great as ever, though I still love 1 best. This season Gaia Girace recedes in screentime to full supporting now and I miss her quite a bit (even if her Lila-focused showcase in episode two is the season's highlight), but I think turning the spotlight more fully to Elena makes me slightly prefer 3 over 2, as the focus helps enrich both her character and story with the time it takes carefully to develop them. Man, those last three episodes are like watching a slow-motion trainwreck happening in real time; I really thought from the premiere's ending that Elena would get over Nino for good already. Another reason I miss Girace is that it seems from the last scene they finally are going to switch the actors for the final season now, so this is probably her last turn out. Necessary though since as good as they are, their characters' age is starting to speed past both Girace and Margherita Mazzucco already. Can't wait for the final season, then I'll start reading the books.
wow, I'm impressed, quite a season!
MY THOUGHTS ON SEASON 10:
-WARNING: Spoilers Below-
Well this was long... Very long. As a whole the Season was decent, wasn't anything special but it wasn't awful. It had some really good moments and some really boring moments, unfortunately to me they all ended up being a tad bit unmemorable. You can tell they've started trying to make the show a lot more horror again and its definitely a good thing, in fact it's one of the saving graces for season 10.
With Daryl now the central character and having a lot more screen time I've come to realise he's not too good as the main character. Whenever he's given long talks or people look at him as the leader it seems way, way too forced. He comes across as cringe and uncomfortable. If anything they should have given the main character role to Jeffrey Dean Morgan's Negan, I feel like that would have been a lot better for conversation and storytelling.
If I'm honest I can't remember much of Season 10 due to the ridiculous gaps, this season just felt like a massive blur and the only emotion that sparks when I think back on it is boredom. The season pretty much ended on episode 15, the unnecessary wait for the finale (due to covid - weird how no other show struggled with the things TWD struggled with huh?) caused a lot of hype for me to die down. I remember finding out it was delayed and then just completely forgetting about the show.
With this season I'd say the best moments are when Alpha dies and finally when Beta dies... Conveniently two moments where Negan is involved. Jeffrey Dean Morgan absolutely carries this show and without him it'd be an even bigger disaster. The scene where he killed Alpha was executed to perfection, I had slowly started to actually like Alpha and seeing her have her head chopped off was crazy. I loved Negan's smug little face afterwards. With the finale fight scene with Negan & Daryl vs Beta I was incredibly disappointed with how short it was BUT seeing as there wasn't much else to compare it too in this season it ended up standing out.
Overall this season was OK. In my eyes its a highly forgettable season and when you look back on The Walking Dead this won't be a season that will be a big conversation topic. Honestly it's a shame its gone downhill like this because I really do love The Walking Dead but this season was yet another snoozefest and I kept finding myself not wanting to watch certain episodes or losing my focus half way through.
This Season proves that The Walking Dead is in fact a Zombie of its former self and thankfully the end is near with Season 11 being its final. Part of me can really understand why certain actors have left. Its a shame that this season was an improvement compared to others.
