Development and reception [edit]

Lennie James played Morgan in the series premiere "Days Gone Cheerio".^[16] Mike Ryan of Vanity Off-white described Morgan in his review of the episode as "scared shitless of zombies breaking in, which seems like a reasonable reaction".^[17] Liz Kelly and Jen Chaney of The Washington Post commented on Morgan and Duane, "whose loss of the mother effigy in their family unit reminded united states a piddling of "Lost 's" Michael and Walt".^[18] Josh Jackson of Paste described Morgan and Duane every bit being "tormented past Morgan's wife walking the streets exterior the suburban habitation where they're squatting. Unable to put her out of her misery or move on without her, they're frozen in place, tormented by loss that hasn't really gone away.

Information technology'southward the most nightmarish of scenarios – hunted by the vanquish of a loved i – the zombies aren't generic; this one is personal."^[19] Jackson as well stated that Rick is "trounce-shocked by the world he wakes up to and Morgan serves as his shepherd into reality".^[xix] Leonard Pierce of The A.5. Club described Morgan as "beautifully played by the ever welcome Lennie James" and adding that he "adds a moment of poignancy, as he finds himself actually apologizing for having non killed his now-reanimated wife".^[20] Pierce describes the scene in which Morgan "tries to gather the—forcefulness? resolve? compassion?—to destroy what used to be his wife" every bit a "wrenching" scene.^[xx] Kris King of Starpulse noted that Morgan "has a powerful scene involving the fate of his wife and his grizzly attempt to come up to terms with his loss".^[21] Writing for The Atlantic, Scott Meslow describes what he considers "the episode'southward near devastating scene", in which "Morgan aims at [his wife'south] head through a rifle from a window, almost pulling the trigger several times before collapsing in tears. Morgan's fate is a dark reflection of Rick's worst fears; with his wife and son missing, and with no manner to contact them, Rick never knows if he'll turn a corner and find a grotesque perversion of the wife and son he loves."^[22]

It was confirmed on November 19, 2012, that Morgan would exist returning in Season 3.^[23] In an interview with Inside TV, Robert Kirkman defines the title of the episode "Clear", and how information technology relates to Morgan: "It ways a lot of things. To a sure extent information technology'southward the ravings of a lunatic but it's also nigh him trying to clear out his life and clear out any entanglements effectually him. He'due south living by himself so he's trying to have a articulate head. Information technology'due south basically about him getting rid of his married woman and getting rid of his son and the only manner for him to survive is to clear the surface area effectually him."^[24] Kirkman also felt that Lennie James was "really playing a completely different character and doing completely different things in this episode and is just as amazing doing it. Then information technology was a lot of fun having him back and also having him do things that were so different from what he had washed before."^[24] In his recap of the episode for the Los Angeles Times, Emily VanDerWerff called Lennie James a "brilliant role player", and felt that "his role is significant plenty that he essentially becomes the main supporting player in the piece".^[25] Eric Kain of Forbes chosen the operation of Lennie James "absolutely riveting", noting that Morgan "is a changed man, and not for the better"; Kain called Morgan'due south refusal of Rick'southward offer to return to the prison with him "a glorious scene".^[26] Zack Handlen of The A.V. Club describes Morgan'southward situation: "Morgan's crime is that he couldn't let get of the past; he couldn't shoot his expressionless wife, and and then his expressionless wife eventually killed his son. So at present he has nothing to alive for, but he doesn't accept the strength of will left to take his own life. Which leaves him trapped. He tin can't join up with Rick's grouping, no thing how much Rick wants him to, because that would hateful connecting with people again, condign vulnerable, risking himself and having to suffer when his new friends dice. And he tin can't commit suicide, because that would crave a different kind of backbone. So he'southward stuck building his traps, covering the walls with his writing, sending letters to strangers he'll never see."^[27]
