Rick and his crew make their rescue attempt for Glenn and Maggie.
This is an explosive and action packed episode with some memorable moments.
The plot is an escape thriller with shades of a mini 'Escape From New York' with the nature of Woodbury and the role of the Governor.
My favourite scene unfortunately is the most disturbing part in the Governor's private quarters. It is both gruesome, and from the perspective of a father with a young daughter, quite pitiful. There are some obvious contrivances for the sake of drama, but it's done very well from a technical perspective.
This is closely followed by the cliffhanger scene at the end which is a great satire of leaders catering to the groupthink, mob mentality that exists in most communities.
There are also a number of good moments back at the prison with new characters introduced and one comical moment regarding the subject of Carol's sexuality.
Generally I found the action scenes involving guns a bit clichéd and full of the kind of silliness you associate with pure action movies such as heroes with endless rounds of ammunition facing baddies who cannot shoot straight.
All performances are as strong as ever, particularly David Morrissey and Danai Gurira.
