"The Walking Dead: Dead City" breathes new life into the franchise - Review and TribecaFestival chat.

The Walking Dead: Dead City, the latest spinoff from the franchise, delivers more of the same formula until the fifth and sixth episodes, where some minor surprises and a shift in storytelling occur. The show is carried by the performances of Lauren Cohan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, but suffers from a lack of investment in new characters and monologues that all sound the same. The use of New York City as a setting is underwhelming and the walkers are uninspired. Overall, the show may appeal to fans of the franchise, but may not be enough to lure back those who have lost interest.
