‘When we say cinema, this is what we’re talking about’
Netflix has added a highly-anticipated ’10/10′ miniseries fans are binge-watching all in one day.
Perhaps you’ve already blazed your way through that ‘truly riveting’ crime series people are obsessed with, or even this psychological thriller which left viewers ‘messed up for hours.’
If you’re on the hunt for more recommendations, then look no further than this post-apocalyptic TV series.
The six-parter has prompted rave reviews from fans, with one boldly declaring: “When we say cinema, this is what we’re talking about.”
A spin-off to a popular serial drama, it explores the love story of two major characters whose futures were previously left up in the air.

We’re talking about, of course, The Walking Dead and its 2024 follow-up, The Ones Who Live.
Maybe now’s a good time for a spoiler alert…
The Walking Dead concluded after 11 seasons in 2022, leaving fans with a fair few loose ends.
We never did learn the fate of Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) – who was last seen taken away from home in odd circumstances in season nine – and Michonne (Danai Gurira), who set out to find him in season 10.
Well, The Ones Who Live is all about their long-awaited reunion, exploring how they reconnect after being separated for so long – and how they fight to make their way home.
Created by Scott M. Gimple – head of The Walking Dead universe – as well as Lincoln and Gurira, the series is now available to stream on Netflix in the US.
Taking to Rotten Tomatoes, fans have been quick to praise The Ones Who Live, as one person declared it ‘the best spinoff of the entire franchise.’
A second concurred: “Binged it all in one day, it was very well written,” as a third wrote: “Awesome, some of the best Walking Dead content I’ve seen in years.”
A fourth hailed it ‘outstanding’ and praised the show’s emotional depth, as another fan compared it to ‘the peak seasons’ of the original show, adding: “Andrew Lincoln is still amazing as Rick even though he’s at a different place than we’ve seen before. He and Danai both shine in this.”
