One problem with The Walking Dead, so far, is that the dialogue has been over-the-top and the violence has been relatively straight-forward. Maybe it should be the other way around. Go to Full Review Leonard Pierce AV Club 05/28/2015

This episode opened and closed on very strong notes, but the mushy middle, which didn't solve anything involving the ongoing plot and introduced a bunch of arbitrary, needless complications that had no payoff, bogged it down quite a bit. Go to Full Review Alan Sepinwall HitFix 05/28/2015
I was curious to see whether the things that ultimately drove me from the comic would be more obvious here than in previous episodes. Instead, Kirkman turned in the strongest episode since the pilot. Go to Full Review Tom Fitzgerald and Lorenzo Marquez Tom & Lorenzo 06/06/2018
Now that it was a damn good episode. Some clunky parts, but the payoffs were worth it. Go to Full Review Ciara Monya TV Equals 05/28/2015
I have always been of the opinion that an average episode/movie/novel can be salvaged by a great ending, and that theory would certainly apply to this uneven and at times bewildering episode of The Walking Dead. Go to Full Review Josh Jackson Paste Magazine 05/28/2015
7.9/10
The whole spectrum of human nature is on view when civilization is stripped away-the bigger the immediate threat, the more varied the response. And it's this balance between action/horror and personal drama that makes The Walking Dead so compelling. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
