With 11 seasons under its belt, picking out the best Walking Dead episodes is no easy task. In total, AMC released a whopping 177 of 'em between 2010 and 2022 – and some are tense, some are gory, and some are downright heartbreaking. In short, there was something for everyone across the zombie horror's run.
While the franchise is living on through the likes of Manhattan-based The Walking Dead: Dead City and Spain-set The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, there's really nothing like the original show. And since we're in between seasons of those spin-offs right now, there's never been a better time to revisit its peaks. From the 2010 pilot that redefined genre TV through to Rick Grimes' explosive exit, we've picked out our personal highlights to help streamline your next rewatch.
