AMC
Typically, I'll do one big "Walking Dead" post after the episode airs on details you may have missed. However, since Sunday's 90-minute episode was one giant smorgasbord for comic fans, it only felt appropriate to do a separate item dedicated to the show's comic parallels.
Nearly the entirety of season seven's fourth episode, "Service," played beat-for-beat from when Negan first stepped foot inside the Alexandria community in issue #103 from the comics. The show really nailed it, capturing everything from dialogue to imagery and gestures from the graphic series.
Fans may have been surprised to see AMC didn't hold back on a lot of the language used on Sunday's episode, proving that the show is committed to delivering a true adaptation of the series' racy, foul-mouthed antagonist Negan.
