To each their own but having seen it now, I think the praise is earned
A show based off a game had no business putting out an episode that good (given the track record of adaptations to date)
Start to finish, has to be one of the ten best episodes I've had the pleasure of watching
Superb acting, well developed character relationship, emotional scenes that resonate .. you know it hit when those segments of the audience that would normally have an issue with it aren't making a fuss
I'm continually fascinated by the prologue scenes from different points of view that show the outbreak as it happened .. it really spins your imagination
This is a lot more the kind of show I hoped for from the walking dead .. more of a slow burn that earned its moments and took time to develop its characters and atmosphere of its post apocalyptic world. And while not needing to fill a zombie action quota each week
TWD was a little too juvenile and it desensitized you to the absolute worst violence and gore early and often where eventually nothing was shocking or that emotionally engaging any more
