5. It's Still Playing Things Safe
I sincerely hope this isn't an issue every week, but once again Hunted hammers home just how safe The Walking Dead has become for the main characters, with not one major character outside of the villains dying since Siddiq back at the halfway mark of season ten.
Hunted features some deaths, sure, but the characters we lose are all non-descript red shirts whose demises offer very little in the way of shock value since we've only just met them and barely know their names.
Also, it's worth noting that while Alden is seriously injured and seems doomed to die considering his injuries, actor Callan McAuliffe has just been added to the opening credits, and it's unlikely the show'll kill a character this early into their tenure as a main player.
