Quoted from RobT:I thought the "torture" of Darryl was just ridiculously weak and did not come close to measuring up to what we saw from Negan in episode one. Music? Really?
Everything they did was common practice for today's "enhanced interrogation" techniques as documented in many articles that came out of places like abu ghraib, so it was pretty realistic to me. It certainly made me empathize with his character. Would you rather have seen them stick bamboo chutes underneath his fingernails?
