The Walking Dead: Consumed (2014)
Season 5, Episode 6
8/10
42 Minutes of the Two Best Characters
1 July 2016
Warning: Spoilers
This is one of the best episodes of the show. Daryl and Carol are clearly the two most well-thought out and well-written characters in the show (closely followed by Rick and Carl). They're complicated, they have true, real dimension, and most importantly, they are together.

This episode explored the theme that had been hiding in sublime from the very first time you saw Daryl and Carol: their almost-romance. The world they live in makes it easy to fall in love with someone who loves you back: with all of twelve people you know, you statistically have a better chance of meeting your match. And the show knows that, with Maggie/Glen and Daryl/Carol. But Daryl and Carol aren't dating, nor have they kissed, or anything, or even made their feelings clear, neither to each other nor to the viewer.

However, this episode is a good start to a theme the viewers have been waiting five seasons to see.
