20 Highest Rated Episodes Of The Walking Dead
9. This Sorrowful Life (S3 EP15)
Rating: 8.9
One of the show's biggest draws is watching principal characters squirm when faced with horrendous moral dilemmas. For the majority of this episode, viewers were left wondering whether Rick would hand Michonne over to the Governor to protect the prison.
However, a shock ending created an even more impossible situation to deal with, as Daryl discovers a zombified Merle, forcing viewers to confront how they would act in the same situation. He wasn't the most likable of characters, but his death was still hugely emotional.
