A guide for TWD binge-watchers.

The Walking Dead Universe is about to expand even more with several upcoming spinoffs. One of them, Dead City, is already out.

Don't you think it's high time to rewatch the original show?

If you watched the show, you know that The Walking Dead had its fair share of filler or unnecessary episodes. Thankfully, a Reddit user shared their binge guide which tells the episodes that you can skip.

Season 1 & Season 2

The guide suggests you watch it all, and we can't help but agree. The second season might have some slower moments, but at the same time you can't afford to skip a single episode.

Season 3

Episode 11: In this episode, Andrea is trying to prevent war between Rick's group and the Governor. She basically doesn't achieve anything, so you can skip this one.

Season 4

Episodes 6 & 7: The episodes are centered around the Governor and how he is suffering from his past actions. He also meets two sisters, Lilly and Tara, and Martinez' group shortly after.

Episodes 10 & 12: Actually, not all the post-prison episodes centered around different members of the divided group are interesting. You can skip these two.

Season 5

Episode 6: Daryl and Carol are looking for Beth without specific progress but they also meet Noah.

Season 6

Episode 5: The aftermath of the Wolves' deadly attack doesn't really move the story forward, so feel free to skip it.

Season 7

Episodes 2, 3, 4, 6, 11, 12: Well, the tension between the Saviors and Rick's group was dragged out for way too long. So, if you want to dive right into the action, go ahead and skip these episodes.

Season 8

Episodes 2, 3, 6: The same reason goes for these episodes — the war with the Saviors doesn't really progress. You might miss some minor details but not all of them are really necessary.

Season 9

When Negan is dealt with, a new threat emerges — the mysterious Whisperers. It's recommended to watch every episode.

Season 10

Episodes 18 & 21: Two filler episodes mostly centered around Carol and Daryl.

Season 11

Episode 11: The episode is pretty much all about Eugene. It might be kind of important for his character development, but you can totally skip it if you want.
