The Walking Dead Season 9, Episode 6 'Who Are You Now?': Women Run This World (REVIEW)

Welcome to Bleeding Cool's weekly review of AMC's The Walking Dead, as we take a look at the sixth (and first of the post-Rick Grimes era) episode in the game-changing ninth season of the long-running drama-horror series, 'Who Are You Now?'.

The Hilltop/Alexandria community continues to thrive, evolving into the society that Rick (Andrew Lincoln), Daryl (Norman Reedus), Maggie (Lauren Cohan), Michonne (Danai Gurira), and Carol (Melissa McBride) fought so hard – and sacrificed so much – to achieve. Now with the next generation of Grimes on the scene – Judith (Cailey Fleming) – the community begins reaching further out for survivors – an initiative that a hardened Michonne is dead set against out of concern for the community's long-term safety and security.

In this episode of AMC's The Walking Dead 'Who Are You Now?,' a new group of survivors (Nadia Hilker's Magna, Angel Theory's Kelly, Lauren Ridloff's Connie, Eleanor Matsura's Yumiko, and Dan Fogler's Luke) make their way to the Alexandria/Hilltop community. When they begin to doubt the new community and its intentions – and with Michonne dead set against bringing them aboard – it might just take the next generation of Grimes to bring them together.

Check out our episode review to see how showrunner Angela Kang lived up to her pre-season promise that women would rule The Walking Dead – and why that was the perfect tone to set with 'Who Are You Now':

In this behind-the-scenes featurette, the cast and crew discuss the six-year time jump leading into 'Who Are You Now?':

Carol may be a "Queen" but in this scene from 'Who Are You Now?', the remaining Saviors learn the hard way that she's a "Warrior Queen":
