Samuel Leggett Jr. from JVS Media & Productions/Team JVS writes:
"The Ones Who Live is easily the best spin-off that has come from TWD franchise. Andrew Lincoln & Danai Gurira are on fire with the performances and haven't skipped a beat from being away. Such a thrilling and impactful series, merits more from this story!"
Zach Pope from Zach Pope Reviews also writes:
"The Ones Who Live is the BEST Walking Dead show in years. A perfect love story that delivers exactly what fans have been wanting since Andrew Lincoln & Danai Gurira left the series. Rick & Michonne are everything."
The audiences also did not shy away from heavily rating it on the platform. The show now holds a 96 per cent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, as mentioned earlier. One such audience member wrote a compelling review of the show:
"Exceeded all expectations. This is The Walking Dead I used to know and love yet upgraded in every way. Andrew Lincoln gave us an award winning performance. Others like Danai Gurira and Craig Tate definitely made the scenes he shared with them those that we will be talking about for years to come."
Another one wrote:
"Genuinely the best TWD has been since season 9."
