I’ll never be able to count on two hands just how many times I’ve said “’The Walking Dead’ is my favorite show ever.” And I’ll keep saying that for the rest of my life, because nothing will ever top such a TV masterpiece. You don’t need to say it — the show did decline over the years (a common opinion among many fans), but the first few seasons still make this apocalyptic drama one of the best.

As a huge lover of this franchise, I do have favorite episodes and specific scenes that still pop into my mind on a random day. Each season focused on something different, and it gradually got darker the more time that passed in the apocalypse. Of course, I can sit here and write so many good things about “The Walking Dead,” but I have to admit, there are some pretty bad episodes.

More episodes make for a harder time choosing the best and worst, but with the help of Rotten Tomatoes and my own opinion, I’ve managed to narrow it down. So what better way to pay homage to this horror drama by highlighting its best and worst episodes of every season? Let’s get into it.
