This is a very interesting perspective on The Walking Dead universe. This watch order will allow you to follow the apocalypse from its inception, starting with the first appearance of a walker, something that the main show does not cover.

Furthermore, this watch order will provide a clearer understanding of the timeline of events in the universe. Many fans have been misled about the timing of certain events. By following the chronological order, you will have a better chance of comprehending all Easter Eggs or references made throughout the shows regarding the other TWD series.

Tales of The Walking Dead

This is the easiest watch order that most people choose. You start with the main show and then proceed to the other series and spin-offs by watching them one by one.

There are many benefits to this choice as well. You can follow the shows and their plots smoothly without mixing them too much, and you still experience a sort of smooth transition in the chronology. It may not be as precise as the previous order, but that doesn't detract from the story of the show at all.
