AMC and Sky are currently broadcasting the bonus episodes of the 10th season of "The Walking Dead".
One of them does not go down well with the audience.
The fans of "The Walking Dead" are currently getting an encore.
Several months ago, the creators decided to publish six bonus episodes * as a supplement to the 10th season.
Then the series starts in its grand finale,
because after season 11 it should officially be over
.
That could make many viewers sad, but there is at least one positive news: the American broadcaster AMC would like to broadcast the first episodes of the last season as early as the summer of 2021.
Usually new seasons don't appear until autumn.
Instead of being happy, many viewers are currently busy venting their anger.
The latest episode “Splinter” did not go down well with some fans.
On the
IMDb
website
, it even received
the lowest rating of all existing "The Walking Dead" episodes
with 5.3 stars
(as of March 26, 2021).

"The Walking Dead": episode of the 10th season disappoints the fans
"One more episode and I'll jump out the window," wrote an
IMDb
user in reference to the "The Walking Dead" episode "Splinter".
There are more comments of this kind on the page.
But what exactly is it that bothers the audience?
In general, many fans are critical of the six bonus episodes
because they hardly advance the story
.
Instead, the makers go into more detail on the individual characters.
“Splinter”, for example, tells the background story of the relatively new character Princess (Paola Lázaro).
Her life before and after the apocalypse was marked by traumatic events that still negatively affect her psyche.
In the episode in question, viewers get a glimpse of their dark past.
“We, the audience, now understand that there is a lot of pain and suffering in the world of 'The Walking Dead'.
So give us something that we can look forward to in the future and don't waste your budget on bringing even more pain and suffering to the screen, ”writes another
IMDb
user.
The criticism is clear: Many fans would like more episodes that follow the main plot line instead of taking up side stories about the characters.

"The Walking Dead": Is the fans' criticism of the bonus episodes justified?
Originally, AMC didn't want to add six bonus episodes to season 10.
Accordingly, viewers shouldn't have expected from the outset that the additional episodes would further advance the main storyline, explains
Screen Rant
magazine
.
It was the intention of the makers from the beginning to go into the characters with the bonus material.
If you want to know how the story of the residents of Alexandria continues, you have to be patient until the 11th season appears on Sky.
