Talking Dead

Talking Dead has become appointment viewing in the US on Philo and AMC Plus Apple TV Channel for anyone who enjoys watching people under real pressure. 11 seasons of it means there is plenty to get through without ever feeling padded. A 7/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Chris Hardwick is a big part of why it works, but the format itself is the real star. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Philo.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Talking Dead earns its spot. Talking Dead has the format that countless others have tried to copy since. Host Chris Hardwick discusses episodes of the AMC television series The Walking Dead with guests, including celebrity fans, cast members, and crew from the series. Chris Hardwick brings the kind of presence that makes the format work. It ran for 11 seasons (2011–2022), and the writing holds up across every one of them. Talking Dead understands the difference between manufactured drama and the real thing, and leans on the latter. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Talking Dead is impossible to watch casually — expect strong opinions. It does not lean on comparisons to make its case. The 11-season run rewards the patience it asks of you. The casting and production never let it go stale. The kind of thing that disappears an evening without you noticing.

Talking Dead wrapped up in 2022 — and 11 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
