The Walking Dead: Every Season 7 Episode Ranked Worst To Best
2. The Day Will Come When You Won't Be
The Walking Dead's most controversial hour is also one of its very best, as Rick, Daryl, Michonne, Carl, Glenn, Maggie and more are put at the mercy of Negan for the first time.
Brilliantly structured in order to keep you guessing about who's bitten the dust, the episode plays with time and tone in such a way that the tension is almost too much to bear.
Of course, Glenn's death could have done with being treated as less of an afterthought, and the violence definitely pushes the boundary between gritty and torture porn in an uncomfortable way, but when the horror, performances and shocks are this strong, the episode's flaws are very easy to forgive in the end.
