The Walking Dead: 10 Most Underrated Episodes

10. The Storm (Season 9, Episode 16)

Season nine's finale was unfairly criticised upon its release. There's no denying why this happened - the previous four episodes were nothing short of phenomenal, with its predecessor offering audiences the chance to see the show's most shocking death scene since Glenn (Steven Yeun) and Abraham (Michael Cudlitz).

Whilst The Storm could easily have been another action-packed, twisting hour of television - which is clearly what people wanted - it is instead a quiet and character-driven episode which is just as emotional with the season's high points.

Focusing on Carol (Melissa McBride) and Ezekiel (Khary Payton) as they deal with the death of their son (Matt Lintz), the episode is a exercise in how to create tension out of grief. Daryl (Norman Reedus) tries to vouch for Lydia (Cassady McClincy) and the residents of the Kingdom must brave a harsh storm in order to find safety.

Also, Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) gets time to shine out of his cell when he saves Judith (Cailey Fleming) and Dog, and the whole dreary escapade ends with a sweet and hopeful snowball fight, promising at least some kind of peace in the future.
