So i stopped watching walking dead after season 7 and i didn't plan to return to this show but i heard so much good about season 9 so i gave it one last shot, and i'm glad i did. In my opinion season 1-4 are pretty good (s3 is the best one), season 5 was meh and seasons 6-8 are just out right bad (season 8 is awful) but season 9 was amazing. This was the best mid season finale we have had in a long time. From the opening scene where you see a walker in the herd stand up straight and turn his head towards our main characters with creepy music playing in the background i knew that this season was something special. The whisperers are one of the coolest stories in the comics and this season did them justice. They are creepy, badass and mysterious. Killing Jesus was smart cause it showed that the whisperers are a force to be reckoned with and to be feared. Their theme song is bloody awesome. Jesus's death scene was so well made and totally unexpected. In conclusion season 9 is the best season we have had in years and probably my second favourite season ever (s3 is my favourite).
