It is easily the best episode yet. Go to Full Review Noel Murray Rolling Stone 09/28/2015
So long as the writing and the characters can stay as strong as they are here... then Fear's future looks bright. Or at least as bright as a zombie apocalypse can ever be. Go to Full Review Emily St. James Vox 09/28/2015
A fascinating ride through the sequestered neighborhood at the show's center. Go to Full Review Angela L. Harmon The NitPic 12/11/2019
Fear the Walking Dead is, almost surprisingly, concerning itself much less with the presence of the undead than examining the ugliness of the panicked human condition... Go to Full Review Alex Mullane Digital Spy 11/18/2015
We know them a lot better than we knew the cast of the original at this point; they should be at least as fascinating. But they're not. Go to Full Review M. King Adkins PopMatters 09/30/2015
6/10
The end of Cobalt... suggest[s] change is coming to the show's plotline and level of action. For the first time, the walkers appear as a large-scale threat (if one that has so far been contained) rather than a distant worry. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
