Critics Consensus

"The Hurt That Will Happen" introduces a promising new innovation to The Walking Dead lore -- radioactive zombies! -- but this installment's pacing is as lethargic as a walker.

The action doesn't slow down (much) and the mysteries of season 5 continue to unfold. But, seriously, if Morgan makes another speech involving "helping people" or the demons within, I will willingly take my chances solo in the misty radioactive woods.

2.5/5

Ultimately, the Strand/Daniel scenes and the other, expository scenes are two sides of the same coin. Fear the Walking Dead is a much better show when digging in with characters it has developed, rather than trying overdo the plot.

8.5/10

While I'm still having some major problems with characters making suicidal decisions, "The Hurt That Will Happen" was a strong follow-up to the season premiere and further established this initial arc's threat.

A great episode. Love to see the radiation in there, making the zombies even nastier than usual. It's a great little twist.

For much of the run of both The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead, zombies have been a low-level threat to their characters... In some ways, that changed in this week's episode of Fear the Walking Dead, "The Hurt Will Happen."

5/5

This The Walking Dead spinoff has suffered in the past from inconsistent storytelling, but it appears that the show is continuing to go from strength to strength, and it's still way more enjoyable to watch than the parent series.
