10 Best Performances In The Walking Dead

Michonne's run on the show has recently come to an end, and her final episode signified the end of yet another of The Walking Dead's greatest character arcs. Danai Gurira is one of the most accomplished actors outside of the show, but her performance as the sword wielding wife of Rick Grimes stands as one of her best achievements.

A strong leader and arguably the show's strongest warrior, Michonne's growth from reluctant ally and mortal enemy of The Governor to key member of the core group and leader of the Survivors alongside Rick made for a thrilling and often touching journey.

The best aspect of her character comes in the form of the relationships she made, mainly those with Rick and Daryl. But the real stand-out is her bond with Carl, who becomes her doorway into the group and sees her opening up to her new allies. The scenes she shares with Rick and Carl allow Gurira to dig into the emotions and past of her character.

Aside from the dramatic chops she exercises throughout her eight-season run on the show, Gurira also made Michonne one of the show's most intimidating and unflinching figures. Look no further than her performance in Season Nine's "Scars" to see the full extent of Michonne's complex character and Gurira's staggering talent. It's a sight to behold.
