The Walking Dead: Michonne - A Telltale Miniseries - Give No Shelter
Overview -
Telltale is keeping a brisk release schedule for the three-part 'Michonne' miniseries, meant to tide us over before the next season of 'The Walking Dead'. 'Give No Shelter' is here scarcely a month after the first episode, 'In Too Deep'.
Video Review
This episode has a dark and muted visual palette to match its atmosphere. There are lots of grays and browns, and everything just looks kind of grimy. As usual, stutters threaten to ruin the mood in many scenes.
Audio Review
I encountered fewer audio bugs in 'Give No Shelter' than I expected, and the acting continues to be skillful. The title song, 'Gun In My Hand' by DOROTHY, is the only licensed music but it perfectly fits the theme.
Final Thoughts
This miniseries is moving forward very quickly, packing more action in two short episodes than a typical Telltale season gets in the same amount of time. It might seem as though that pace is too rapid for any chance at real characterization, but that isn’t the case. In 'Give No Shelter,' nearly all of the fat has been stripped away from the supporting cast to make way for Michonne, and the series is all the better for it.
