20 Highest Rated Episodes Of The Walking Dead

14. Better Angels (S2 EP12)

Walking Dead Better Angels
AMC

Rating: 9.1

After the death of Dale in the previous episode, the dynamic of the group has irrevocably shifted, tearing apart uneasy alliances in a way that will change Rick's crew forever. Many fans understandably switched off following the survivors dragged out sojourn at Hershel's farm, but the pay off eventually arrived in "Better Angels", when Rick and Shane finally confront each other.

This was one of the strongest episodes to date and was only bettered in series two by the follow up, which served as the season finale. Unfortunately, "Better Angels" also began Carl's transformation from boring, whiny child to angsty, whiny teenager.
