I was actually invested in the episode not just cause of Jadis but there was actually something moving the story for once. I hate Iris still she was annoying but maybe that's supposed to be like that. I like going into the hidden parts of the CRM and finding out their secrets and Jadis talking about Rick and how the episode ended was great. Hope the rest of the episodes are like this or better.

Who Are You? Is a thrilling episode. Finally. We are moving towards something.
Felix is investigating, and Jennifer has to make choices.
Jadis is an absolute force, and we get some low key callbacks to the main show. Lyla has an emotional scene, and we learn more about her reasons and motivations to work for the CRM.
In the previews for the next episode, it seems they lost something valuable... Could it be Rick ? It would tie up nicely with the end of Season 11 coming soon...

Surprise! A genuinely amazingly done episode of this show.

The BIG part of this episode was of course Jadis and all the answers we got about what she has been up to, her CRM backstory, and a mention of Rick (FINALLY)
However, this episode was genuinely entertaining even aside from Jadis. Lyla's backstory was absolutely skin-crawling levels of unsettling and intriguing. Her and Leo's actors performed phenomenally.
There is a clear divide between the teen actors and adult actors in ability, but Percy and Asha do pretty decent.
There was an ACTUAL death this episode too and it was super shocking and scared the crap out of me because of how much I didn't expect it.
Literally my only complaint this episode was how annoying Hope and Iris are. For being the main characters, they are literally the worst part of the series.
By far the best episode of this season and thus the best episode of the entire show. I really hope the show can keep this up for the final four episodes.

The episode's ability to intertwine personal dilemmas with the broader narrative arcs of betrayal and manipulation adds a rich layer to the "Walking Dead" universe

In flashbacks, Leo bonds with Lyla while on a research expedition. In the present, Leo determines from the transmissions that Huck had given him that the CRM had used some kind of large-scale chemical weapon to destroy Omaha and the Campus Colony; the massive herd was just the coverup. The Endlings agree to abort their escape and stay to get answers, enlisting Huck's help. After Leo realizes that Lyla is involved, he invites her to dinner as a distraction while Felix and Huck break into a secret cold storage in search of answers; while working with Felix, Huck reveals that she had taken her undercover mission after getting caught covering up for a tough call that Dennis had made while drunk that got people hurt.
As Huck creates a power outage, Felix steals a vial of the CRM's weapon and discovers that they have a massive stockpile of gas cannisters of it; Felix briefly gets trapped before Huck rescues him, reassuring Felix that she really is on their side. Jadis reveals that she is performing a security audit and discusses her past with Huck while expressing concern that Huck's undercover mission has changed her. Iris sends a message to Will and Elton effectively declaring war on the CRM; after a failed coup by Brody, Elton reveals Indira's illness to Will. While Elton performs a flower ceremony with Asha, Dev helps Will sneak into the research facility to warn the others. However, the two are found by a patrol and Dev is killed while Will flees.
In "Who Are You?", the sixth episode of the second season of "The Walking Dead: World Beyond," the series delves deeper into the psychological and moral complexities faced by its young characters in the apocalyptic world dominated by the Civic Republic Military (CRM). The episode, rich with tension and introspection, primarily focuses on the shifting dynamics within the group as they grapple with their identities and the weight of their choices.
The episode begins with a haunting sequence that sets the tone for the psychological exploration to follow. Here, we witness the protagonist, Hope, struggling with her decision to cooperate with the CRM, juxtaposed against her desire to protect her friends and family. This internal conflict is vividly portrayed through a series of flashbacks and confrontations, particularly with her sister, Iris, who remains skeptical of the CRM's intentions. The tension escalates when the siblings' differing paths lead to a poignant confrontation that challenges their bond and their individual understandings of morality in a world ruled by survival.
One of the episode's most striking scenes involves Silas, who faces his own moral quandary after being coerced into working in a CRM facility. His journey is a dark mirror to Hope's, highlighting the theme of young individuals forced into roles that compromise their ethics. This subplot is effectively used to explore themes of coercion and the loss of innocence, making Silas's storyline a compelling counterpart to Hope's ongoing battle with her conscience.
In conclusion, "Who Are You?" successfully builds upon the series' exploration of identity and morality, anchored by strong performances from the young cast. The episode's ability to intertwine personal dilemmas with the broader narrative arcs of betrayal and manipulation adds a rich layer to the "Walking Dead" universe. However, it occasionally suffers from pacing issues, with some plot points feeling rushed or underdeveloped. Despite these minor flaws, the episode stands out for its deep dive into the emotional and ethical challenges faced by its characters, making it a significant addition to the series. This episode not only pushes the characters to question "Who are you?" in the face of monstrous adversity but also prompts the audience to reflect on what choices they might make in the characters' shoes.

Season 2 is AWESOME!

I've been saying this since 202 but I think the show has finally found it's landing... from the awesome world building to all the groups that are connected with the CRM in one way to all the clashes, character development and intense exploration of how the CRM works.. this show has gotten GOOD!
For the very first time: I cried during a World Beyond episode, unimaginable

Natalie Gold (Lyla) is fantastic. That scene when she talks about her family, wow! The script! The TWD Universe has always casted the best actors and actresses.
I also agree with the ones who say 'More Jadis, less Iris'. What an annoying character for Christ sake. Jadis has become such an interesting character since we last saw her on TWD's 9x05. I hate Huck, and I know the actress can't stop making those ugly faces (which are very annoying) but her character has had some good development. She'll probably die in the season finale, as some sort of 'redemption'.
This show has been doing it really good these last episodes... I hope it keeps that way. I hated the first season, but this one is so much better...

More Jadis Less Iris
revieweranarchy7531 October 2021
Amazing snippets with Jadis scene and even the scenes with Huck/Felix and Lyla were really interesting and well thought out, but every time Iris shows up on the screen she manages to mess up the flow of the show and create an absurd unrealism that makes you want to vomit. She is so cringe.
So good!
