The previous episode had us see Dwight and Althea as they were on a recon mission, two important events was the reunion of Dwight and Sherry but also him being infected by the rat who bit him. But in this week's episode that is directed by Ron Underwood which is titled "The Key", brilliant direction and cinematography through out the episode. We get to follow John Dorie, and I have to admit I have missed him but the three stories we have followed have been super interesting but I'm glad we get to see him again. Morgan and Strand is also featured throughout the episode. But its Garret Dillahunt time to shine as John Dorie, a character loved by many. I loved the themes and genres in this episode, there were signs of depression in a way of being away from your loved one. Genres were of course post apocalypse but also western and crime as there's a lot of detective work in this episode thanks to John Dorie being a ranger for Lawton. The camera work and all angles they used fits so well with that genre, the crew did a fantastic job.
The musical score was superb, and so was many other aspects of the episode. I get the feeling that AMC have given them a higher budget as the whole production feels better in every way. Sound mixing and editing, the same with visual effects. Special effects and makeup are amazing because it's talented people. There were a lot of shots that I absolutely loved, and how they choosed to shoot the fight sequences is simply amazing.
Let's talk a bit of the acting, as we saw in episode two we know that the showrunners made Strand more like his old self and that continues in this episode. Garret Dillahunt carried the episode and the performance he gave is one of his best, of the ones I have seen, just perfect acting with so much emotion. Colby Minifie need to get some praise as well because of her portrayal, so far it haven't been any action but she's so good with monologues that make her a terrifying villain. We also learn a lot more about John Dorie, mostly of his past and of his father. Interesting and great dialogue, the scene with John and the Rabbi was emotional and overall great as it says a lot of the state of mind of our character.
The showrunners keeps us wanting more, each new episode of this season brings new unique ideas and drama, the focus on one or two characters makes it so much easier for the actors to shine and make unforgettable acting performances, I absolutely love this format right now because how the group is still in different places. I hope we get more information about The Key in the next episode as it seems interesting and they're hyping it up. Superb episode!
