When Jon was giving his speech, I had already started taking notes on this thematic throughline, and knew it was at the heart of the season's goals. Go to Full Review David Malitz Washington Post 04/04/2019
I mean, there was a giant stomping zombies to death and swatting others away like he was playing whack-a-mole. That was awesome. You ain't gonna see that on "Halt and Catch Fire." Go to Full Review Aaron Riccio Slant Magazine 04/04/2019
If there's one thing the frenetic White Walker-packed climax of "Hardhome" proves, it's that at the end of the day, talk is cheap. Go to Full Review Randy Dankievitch TV Over Mind 03/05/2020
