Jeffrey Dean Morgan reviews the first two episodes of the final season of The Walking Dead, calling the two-parter a “hell of a beginning to the end.” The end begins with the two-part season premiere, “Acheron: Part I,” premiering August 15 on AMC+ and August 22 on AMC, followed a week later by “Acheron: Part II,” both from first-time Walking Dead director Kevin Dowling (The Americans, The Strain, 13 Reasons Why). Season 11 starts with a begrudging alliance between Maggie Rhee (Lauren Cohan) and old enemy Negan (Morgan), who guides a mission for survival that takes Daryl (Norman Reedus) and the Alexandrians deep underground into a walker-filled subway tunnel.
