Critics Consensus

Philosophical exploration of maternal challenges and a challenging, extraordinary turn for Kathy Bates make "Burn, Witch. Burn!" an excellent -- albeit weird -- hour of television.

Every week, I feel as if I profess a new scene to be the best of this show's run, and this week is no different. Go to Full Review Chuck Bowen Slant Magazine 07/12/2016
Creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk suffer few indulgences of sentimentality, even of the kind that agrees with their probable politics, and that refreshing tendency is on full display in this week's episode. Go to Full Review Tom Fitzgerald and Lorenzo Marquez Tom & Lorenzo 06/18/2018
Perhaps we're burnt out on zombies at the moment, but we thought this episode was the least interesting of the season so far. Go to Full Review Christian Law We Got This Covered 08/10/2016
What's most impressive about this episode is the fact that the pure awesomeness of Zoe's chainsaw counter-attack on the voodoo zombies occurs simultaneously to a touching plot concerning the relationships that the mothers and daughters share. Go to Full Review Nick Harley Den of Geek 08/02/2016
