List of episodes

The fifth season of the AMC horror–drama television series The Walking Dead premiered on October 12, 2014, and concluded on March 29, 2015, consisting of 16 episodes.[2] The series is based on the eponymous series of comic books by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, and Charlie Adlard; it was developed for television by Frank Darabont and is executive produced by Kirkman, David Alpert, Scott M. Gimple, Greg Nicotero, Tom Luse, and Gale Anne Hurd. Gimple continued the role of showrunner, after assuming the position in season 4.[3]

Season 5 follows the group of survivors led by former sheriff's deputy Rick Grimes as they face several threats from both humans and walkers in their search for finding a new place to reside. The group is also motivated by Eugene Porter's proposal to head to Washington, D.C. for a possible cure for the walker virus. The first half of the season introduces notable characters from the graphic novels, including Father Gabriel Stokes and the cannibalistic Hunters. The main story lines of the first half of the season involve escaping from Terminus and rescuing Beth Greene from Grady Memorial Hospital. The second half of the season introduces the most notable and longest lasting location, from the comic series, the Alexandria Safe Zone.[4] The television series introduces prominent characters from the graphic novels such as the scouts, Aaron and Eric, Olivia, Tobin, Bruce, Nicholas and his family, Jessie Anderson and her family, as well as a remixed version of the Monroe family, which includes Deanna and the comic book character, Spencer Monroe. The main storyline of the second half of the season consists of the group trying to manage a normal life in Alexandria and live like they did pre-apocalypse.

Production

The series was renewed for a fifth season on October 29, 2013.[3] The season began filming May 5, 2014[14] and finished filming November 22, 2014.[15] In January 2015, it was announced that Ross Marquand had been cast in a series regular role, to debut during the second half of the season. It was believed Marquand would play Aaron, a prominent character from the comic series.[16][17] The character debuted in the episode "Them" and his role as Aaron was confirmed.[18] The season finale aired in an expanded 90-minute time slot.[19]

The titles of the final five episodes of the season ("Remember", "Forget", "Spend", "Try", and "Conquer"), which feature the characters in Alexandria, refer to William Faulkner's novel The Sound and the Fury, which Dale quotes from in the season 1 episode "Vatos".[20][21]

Reception

Critical response

The fifth season has received widespread critical acclaim. Based on 36 reviews collected by Rotten Tomatoes, season 5 received an average 97% overall "Certified Fresh" approval rating; the website's consensus states, "Thanks to a liberal dose of propulsive, bloody action and enough compelling character moments to reward longtime fans, The Walking Dead's fifth season continues to deliver top-notch entertainment."[38] On Metacritic, the season has a score of 80 out of 100 based on 11 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[39] Brian Lowry of Variety gave the fifth season premiere a positive review, saying: "After the (rather too) long and winding road to Terminus, 'The Walking Dead' opens its fifth season in spectacular fashion, a dazzling adrenaline rush filled with suspense, righteous violence and, before it's all over, genuine emotion. Imbued with cinematic touches, the only downside to this breathtaking episode is pondering what the creative brain trust can do for an encore. Still, AMC's megahit finds itself in a very good place, from the current makeup of its ever-evolving cast to the latitude it has earned to take unexpected detours. Given the hype surrounding the series, it's still impressive to see the producers deliver such a feast."[40]

Several critics have felt the fifth season has been a huge improvement to its preceding seasons. Todd VanDerWerff for Vox, wrote: "...it's not unprecedented for a series to have its best season in its fifth year, but it's definitely strange for a show to make this big of a leap this late in its run." He praised all aspects of the storytelling and conception of the fifth season, singling out the action, themes, characters, advanced storylines, newly introduced anthology character-focused episodes, and overall improvements to the material the show has always worked with.[41]

Similarly, writing for Grantland, Andy Greenwald praised Scott M. Gimple as showrunner, particularly noting him as an improvement to Glen Mazzara and Frank Darabont, as well as praising the increase in minorities and resulting racial diversity among the main cast. He further commented: "Gimple has also done wonders with the characters he inherited", and singled out characters such as Beth Greene and Tyreese, praising their newly established complexities and character evolution. The constantly shifting environments and surrounding threats were also noted and lauded.[42] Zack Handlen of The A.V. Club in his review of "Consumed", summarized the season as a whole, saying: "This is a large part of why The Walking Dead has gotten so good this season: The writers have found a way to exploit subtext and history in compelling, haunting ways."[43]

Laura Prudom of Variety on her review of "Conquer" commented that "...season five represents a marked improvement over the stagnation of previous years, with the promise of Alexandria breathing new life into the series, offering our group a form of opposition that isn’t inherently wrong, unlike The Governor or the Termites." She assessed it as "arguably been “The Walking Dead’s” best yet, propelled by compulsive story threads and fascinating character dynamics".[44]

Accolades

For the 21st Screen Actors Guild Awards, the series was nominated for Best Stunt Team.[45]

For the 41st Saturn Awards, the series received seven nominations, including Best Syndicated/Cable Television Series, Andrew Lincoln for Best Actor on Television, Norman Reedus for Best Supporting Actor on Television, Melissa McBride and Emily Kinney for Best Supporting Actress on Television, Chandler Riggs for Best Performance by a Younger Actor on Television, and Andrew J. West for Best Guest Starring Role on Television.[46]

Broadcast

The first half of the season premiered on Fox International Channels on October 13, 2014.[47] Episodes air a day later than in the United States. The second half debuted on February 9, 2015.[48]
