10/10
Embrace the Horror
11 April 2016
Warning: Spoilers
An exciting and rather haunting start of the new season focusing on the twin horrors of the zombie apocalypse and the potential menace of other humans who have somehow managed to survive.

With Alicia listening on the radio, the viewers get a chance to hear the desperate voices of the outside world as human civilization falls into chaos. And probably thanks to Alicia, it looks like her family is going to get their first encounter with piracy on the high seas.

On board ship, we can already see the beginnings of a power struggle between Victor Strand and his passengers as they start to make the hard decisions necessary for their survival.

I found the underwater scenes surreal and mesmerizing. I love how cinematically different this is from the Walking Dead! Its like a whole new universe.

I'm now fully invested in the characters introduced to us in the previous season. Obviously, in the future, some of these characters will die while new characters will be introduced. But I can't wait to see what measures this group of survivors will take in order to make it in the New World.

In my opinion, this was the best episode of the series so far. Congratulations Dave Erickson and Robert Kirkman on an excellent start to the 2016 season. Can't wait till next Sunday!
