The Walking Dead – Season 6 Episode 14

“Twice As Far” The Saviors’ poor marksmanship once again aided the escape of Daryl and friends.

More character death, including Ricks love interest and her son,…

Me and Earl and the Dying Girl

Alfonso Gomez-Rejon’s Me and Earl and the Dying Girl explores the concept of living with a terminal illness and what effect that has on the people around you from the teenage perspective.
