"The Walking Dead spinoff 'Dead City' finds success when it stands on its own"

The Walking Dead: Dead City attempts to refresh the franchise by taking Maggie and Negan to a more claustrophobic Manhattan, but its best moments come when it leaves their former world behind. The dynamic between Maggie and Negan demands that you still be passionate about Glenn’s murder, an event that happened back in 2016. The show might even work best if you haven’t kept up with it for this long. The Walking Dead: Dead City works best when it forgets that it’s part of The Walking Dead.
