Geez... That was quite a somber 43 minutes. But a compelling 43 minutes!
'Four Walls and a Roof' brilliantly ramps up the tension and sense of danger, building from the shocking conclusion to the previous episode. A real overarching vision for the direction of the show is established as well, as the show delved deeper into it's exploration of the theme of Morality.The acting was spot-on from everyone, especially Michael Cudlitz's Abraham, with some fiery character-driven tension making this episode utterly compelling and engrossing. Some nice cinematography as well enhanced the grittiness and visceral thrills. It's also, as the summary states, shocking, although perhaps not as much as fans of the comic would like, me included. A nice cliffhanger though, i will say that.
Overall, The Walking Dead season 5 so far has been absolutely mesmerizing Television, wit top-notch production values and a darker tone. And 'Four Walls and a Roof' pretty much contains it all. 9/10
