"Security and secrecy above all," is a mantra sworn by all those who live under the Civic Republic Military's rule in The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live. It’s hard to build a three-city wide, self-sufficient community in an apocalypse, and the only way the CRM knows how to protect it is to forbid its occupants from ever leaving – and revealing its existence, location, and other secrets.
I've been bound by a similar oath when it comes to the horror drama’s latest spin-off. I've been (politely) asked not to detail the structure of the episodes, mention specific settings, or even divulge whether central characters Rick Grimes and Michonne Hawthorne actually reunite in the four episodes released to critics, so as not to spoil the viewing experience for the fans. It's a shame, really, given the fact that the series so far is shaping up to be the best new spin-off yet.
