4 out of 5 stars.
The midseason premiere started out intense. With Daryl and his group stuck in a cave with a horde of undead. Crawling through tight spaces and having a surprise zombie crawling behind you is creepy and thrilling. Brought the two fears of claustrophobia and the undead. It was exciting. Negans action is interesting to see where it would go. And Carols action is getting worse and putting others in dangers again is annoying.

Daryl, Carol, Jerry, Aaron, Kelly, Magna and Connie escape from the horde of walkers walking and crawling through narrow tunnels until they reach an old mineshaft. They try to open a way out from the mineshaft but the claustrophobic Carol tries to bomb the horde with an old dynamite that Kelly had found in the mine. She drops the dynamite and the mine collapses with Magna and Connie inside. Meanwhile Negan and Alpha have intercourse in the woods.
"Squeeze" is a claustrophobic and dark episode of "The Walking Dead" with Daryl and his team trapped in a cave hunted down by walkers and Whisperers. Carol now is an annoying character with her stupid attitudes. Negan and Alpha intercourse is disgusting. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Sob Pressão" ("Under Pressure")
Note: On 09 January 2024, I saw this episode again.

Claustrophobic, nerve racking, suspenseful and great drama. This episode was well directed and had some good cinematography, overall great! I loved the natural lightning, really gave it atmosphere and immersed me into the claustrophobia of the cave. It's still pretty damn bad that they got in that situation with being stuck in a cave by the hands of Alpha but now when we get to see it play out and see the sets they built? I found it entertaining and great, long time since we got a true walker based episode.
The story arcs we get to follow is of course the main group trying to escape the trap set by Alpha and the other plot is The Whisperers and Negan. Jeffrey Dean Morgan is as always so damn good as Negan, but he isn't the best one in this episode. Best acting of the episode is in my opinion Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride they did some amazing work in these 40 minutes, capturing emotion and brought their finest. With that said, this season have built a lot on who Carol is as a person after the death of her adopted son and I've enjoyed the story arc as I feel her more human than the bad ass killing machine she was before, I can't wait to see what they bring to her character and some others.
The episode could easily have been an okey to bad one, if not for the acting and amazing cast of actors and characters. It's a really slow burner, not much happens in the 44 minutes. That's a negative thing but they make it so intense and suspenseful which has us on the edge of our seats. Like I said, it could have easily been a bad episode but the writers and director managed to create a great episode!

The Walking Dead has delivered some amazing episodes since Angela Kang took over as showrunner, and this week's episode is no exception. I was on the edge of my seat during the whole episode, and the last fifteen minutes of the episode was epic. Can't wait for next week!

Did Carol get possessed by the ghost of Henry? Why else would she act so dumb and risk everyone's life like Henry used to do?. This is a mystifying turn of events.

I have to admit....I am now watching this show out of loyalty. I used to be a huge WD fan! I couldn't wait until Sunday night to watch a new episode. The writing went downhill after killing Glen and Abraham. It's like something shifted. Is it new writers? New producers? WTF is it? This show gets worse every episode now. This episode tonight was like watching paint dry. It's horrible.

Wow this was the worst second half of season premiere yet.
Firstly, the cinematography was so dark that half of what was going on was not even visible. This trope of being stuck in a confined space has been done too many times on TWD. Then of course there was one visible scene should never have been seen, but can't be unseen. Terror ok. Horror? sure? But extreme ICK sex? No thanks.
on top of that, Carol, the batty elderly lady who is Daryl's surrogate mom, would have been put down by any rational survivor group since she makes mistake after mistake putting them in profound danger. I'd rather have Homer Simpson in my foxhole than that doddering lady!
Lastly I know the show is fictional but there is no credible reason why any of the protagonist survivors don't just shoot Alpha. The top down structure of the whisperers plus the fact that they are virtually always out in the open make them amazingly vulnerable to firearms, in many cases a single gun, be it basic hunting rifle in longer range exposure that has occurred over and over, or pistol in the many close in confrontations. People saying the guns would be rusted or ammo would be low, simply haven't done any research.
Skip it.

Unnecessary episode they are in a cave all the time and that scene with Negan and Alpha was nasty just annoying.

While season 10 hasn't been my favourite... this is a solid episode that had an amazing set, as well as very intense scenes and stellar acting (as usual though). This episode won't be for everyone but give it a shot!
Btw I only give it a 10 to cancel out the loads of people trolling and giving it 1 star. But I would actually give it 8/10

As befitting the usual main or half-season opener, this episode is better than the others. The mine action is a little dragged out to reach full episode length but there are some good suspense moments, the highlight being the stepping stones. The rest is okay but I could have done without the nonsense Negan scene.

Leave it to the idiots who make this garbage to produce yet another episode in the dark so that the viewer has no clue what's going on.
When are they going to figure out how to make a show for TV?
Everybody complains about it. FIX IT ALREADY
