The Walking Dead's Biggest Lie | 1hr Edition for Sleep

Okay so there's this line Rick says in Season 1: "We tell ourselves we're the good guys." And I cannot stop thinking about it. Because here's the thing—The Walking Dead spent 11 seasons using heroic music, camera angles, and protagonist framing to make us root for Rick's group. We call them the heroes. But when you actually look at what they DO? Massacring people in their sleep. Preemptive wars. Authoritarian rule. Torture. All the stuff we condemn when villains do it. Tonight we're asking the uncomfortable question: what if the show's been lying to us the whole time? What if Rick's group aren't the heroes—they're just the POV characters? What if we've been watching the villain's story all along and just didn't notice because we loved them too much?
