Every Tales of the Walking Dead episode has a distinct flavor. The Terry Crews/Olivia Munn episode entitled Evie/Joe had a buoyant, almost optimistic overtone, whereas the following story may have even delved into the comedic realm.The next episode, Alpha's backstory, was a disturbing journey into the psyche of one of the franchise's greatest villains.The subsequent one was almost poetic and made one stop to ponder about their place in the tortured world.Tales of the Walking Dead Episode 5 is unlike any of its predecessors. It is an edge-of-your-seat noir-style thriller, a whodunit in a world infested by zombies.Tales of the Walking Dead Episode 5 even features one of The BoysJessie T. Usher, best known for portraying A-Train in The Boys, essays the role of Davon in the episode.When we first come upon him, Davon has no memory of what transpired.
