What to Know

Critics Consensus

A slight comedown from previous installments, "B.J. and the A.C." still contains enough engaging scenes and visual panache to compensate for its heavy-handed plotting.

Sean T. Collins Rolling Stone 10/08/2015
It's multifaceted, empathetic writing, all beautifully acted. And though I wouldn't wanna live there, it made Mapleton a nice place to visit. Go to Full Review Jeff Labrecque Entertainment Weekly 10/06/2015
Overall, I liked this episode as much as some people are going to be offended by it. It raised the stakes, established the conflict that is now inevitable, and set the course for the rest of the show. Merry Christmas. Go to Full Review Alan Sepinwall HitFix 10/06/2015
But whatever decisions and alterations happened behind the scenes, the finished product is another strong episode - not as intense as last week's (or, for that matter, next week's), but an effective holiday portrait of the shattered Garvey family. Go to Full Review Matt Fowler IGN Movies 10/06/2015
8.5/10
Again, no big answers, but enough engaging moments of coincidence to make you wonder if Tom's "holy" mission is legit. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
