The Walking Dead: 10 Most Improved Characters In 2015

4. Rick

Mid-season 5: Rick was dragged into yet another conflict with people who couldn't see why his approach was clearly the best approach. He was at a low ebb, and it restricted his character. Mid-season 6: The tables have turned but there's certainly no 'I told you so' from the Sheriff. The entire group is united under Rick for the first time and he's thriving. Rick is a far more composed individual nowadays. That's not to say he doesn't have meltdown moments, but they're far less frequent, and almost every decision he makes is spot on. The group are rallying around his leadership, and with Deanna gone, everyone faces a choice: Rick or die. He's always developing as a character, but 2015 saw him earn a chunk of widespread authority that he couldn't quite command in previous years.
