TV Review | 'Walking Dead' returns to tried-and-true formula, impresses with new season

"The Walking Dead" has always been a highly visual show. Its best scenes are often shot without dialogue, relying on the power of the cinematography and the actors to make them engaging and meaningful. This key feature of the AMC drama was prevalent throughout the first season. One of the most intensly terrifying scenes in the series was when the protagonist, Rick (Andrew Lincoln), wakes up in an empty hospital. Having missed the actual event of the apocalypse, Rick stumbles wordlessly forward in darkness, observing its after-effects. This scene exemplifies the potency and the poignancy in the unique storytelling of "The Walking Dead" - in a world so bleak and empty, sometimes words clutter the story.
