That remains true even in The Walking Dead's spinoffs-only era, and particularly with Maggie and Negan's The Walking Dead: Dead City. After two seasons of familiar territory, however, The Walking Dead: Dead City is flexing its genre muscles in season 3. The Walking Dead: World Beyond attempted to meld the usual guts and gore with a coming-of-age teen drama story. Meanwhile, Rick and Michonne led The Walking Dead into the war epic genre via the cinematic The Ones Who Live. The fact that it might just be The Walking Dead: Dead City's best episode yet is a minor miracle.
