That was a bit distressing to watch.
I'm fairly desensitized to most things in these sorts of shows and movies and zombie gore doesn't bother me at all, but when it comes to brutal violence between people like that where someone is consciously doing that to another person and how Negan was actually laughing over it I found to be disturbing on a few levels. Hardly anything happened in the episode aside from them stretching out the death reveals and Negan parading around talking to himself. That was a glacially slow moving episode. Maybe they were trying to give the events weight but I was more just disgusted and hoping for it to be over with sooner. A lot of unnecessarily long parts where basically nothing important was said.
The deaths were executed well but it wasn't a good episode and I'd argue they went a bit far with it, even for the WD. I don't really feel enticed to watch more of the show after that. It's losing a bit of steam for me, though I wasn't the biggest fan to begin with.
