The Walking Dead Season 11 Review: 3 Ups & 7 Downs From "Out Of The Ashes"

The likes of Cassady McClincy, Cooper Andrews and even Josh McDermitt, who's consistently been one of the best performers in the series of late, seem to be coasting on autopilot, as if they're aware the episode is going to be a dud.
Of course, they're not all on the disappointing side, with Ross Marquand in particular working wonders with the script's tired story, but even so the episode watches like everyone's simply going through the motions, and it's sad to see.
