Season Four of The Walking Dead ended with Rick and the group outgunned, outnumbered, and trapped in a train car awaiting a grim fate. Season Five picks up shortly thereafter. What follows is a story that weaves the true motives of the people of Terminus with the hopeful prospect of a cure in Washington, D.C., the fate of the group’s lost comrades, as well as new locales, new conflicts, and new obstacles in keeping the group together and staying alive. Stories will break apart and intersect. The characters will find love and hate. Peace and conflict. Contentment and terror. And, in the quest to find a permanent, safe place to call home, one question will haunt them... After all they’ve seen, all they’ve done, all they’ve sacrificed, lost, and held on to no matter what the cost... Who do they become? (Universal Sony Pictures Home Entertainment)

Season 5 wasn't bad, I'm just annoyed by certain issues that appear in every season: episodes that serve no purpose other than to stretch out the plot, nonfunctional psychoanalyzing, or straight-up moralizing. What I liked in both Season 4 and Season 5 was the group around Sergeant Ford. Those three were great. It was clear that things would get tense in Terminus, but I didn’t expect their diet to be so unpalatable. The excellently handled season finale got me excited for Season 6.

The fifth season of The Walking Dead is an improvement for me over season four, although certainly not to the extent that I am as excited about the show as I am about its comic book counterpart. It seems to keep relentlessly going, although some development stays true to the comics to a certain extent. However, the show goes its own way as well, and on the one hand, that is good, but on the other hand, I just often find it quite tedious.
