10 Horror Television Episodes That Are Practically Flawless
4. Here's Negan - The Walking Dead
By the time the remains of The Walking Dead finally drew the curtain (sort of) on proceedings, the show's fandom had been treated to some absolute howlers. This writer can emphatically state that they would rather bathe their eyes in bleach than ever be subjected to Season 7's Tara-centric outing ever again.
With that being said, there's a reason the show is one of the most successful and celebrated television offerings of all time - it features some absolutely spellbinding instalments across eleven seasons.
While many worthy candidates spring to mind, an unlikely face is the focus of the one of the show's most flawless episodes. Season Ten's Here's Negan zeroes in on the past of one of The Walking Dead's most despised characters, breathing life into the heartbreaking origin story of the Saviors' former leader.
Negan is a character who was considered by many to be entirely unredeemable. Fleshing out the circumstances behind the loss of his wife and the formative events that ultimately produced the whistling psychopath of earlier seasons, Here's Negan does the impossible by rendering him entirely human.
The success at the heart of one of 2021's most moving television offerings is the tender, yet electric chemistry between Jeffrey Dean Morgan's former villain and his wife Lucille - played by Morgan's real-life partner Hilarie Burton. Morgan absolutely shines alongside her, flexing his dramatic muscles to the fullest extent as he brings the epic tale of one of The Walking Dead's most enduring characters full circle.
