'The Walking Dead' takes a big break in its (very) slow-moving 'final season'
CNN
So about that "final season" of "The Walking Dead?" As seemed pretty obvious when the plan was announced, it sure feels like two seasons, moving at a zombie's pace, labeled that way for marketing purposes.
The show wrapped up its first eight-episode block on Sunday. Another 16 episodes -- the length of a usual bifurcated season, broken into similar increments -- will air next year. The show won't return until February, having ended on one of its customary cliffhangers.
While it's easy to understand why AMC would cling to and want to stretch out this long-running franchise as much as possible, the 24-episode "finale" has lacked any real sense of urgency or momentum in terms of building toward a finish thus far.
The Republican-led House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic on Thursday morning will send a letter to US Attorney General Merrick Garland referring a potential criminal case involving former New York Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo to the Department of Justice, alleging he lied to Congress.
