The first episode of season 9 was truly boring, second episode improved somewhat, and now with episode 3 the show is truly in top form. This episode is tense, surprising (didn't exepect that fate for Charles Vane) and actually suspenseful, which is not a word I have used to describe TWD in a looong time. I hope they keep it up and build on the tension. Feels organic as opposed to many of the more contrived moments in past episodes.
