I thought the story was kind of cool, but man was it poorly written.
The chain of 'back in time' sequences felt like an actual joke rather than a serious story.
The lead actor was excellent. It's just the writing and directing that made very little sense to me.
For example, why did Negan smirk at Maggie at the end? After giving a heart felt speech to his dead wife about being sorry for being an "a$$hole". Burning his bat to solidify the end of his evil ways.
Then, all of that just goes out the window in the last minute of the show.
It really feels like the writers have no idea what they want to do with the character, so they're just stringing on the audience.
This episode was definitely not the worst episode, but I certainly don't think it's 9.5 / 10.
