What to Know

Critics Consensus

By focusing on Daryl Dixon, "Chupacabra" takes a step forward in the story, but still feels like it's the set-up for something larger.

I've reached a point where my expectations have adjusted to the show's basic flaws, and while I'm not willing to give a pass on those flaws, I also don't consider them a dealbreaker. Go to Full Review Starlee Kine New York Magazine/Vulture 07/24/2015
To paraphrase an earlier line from Hershel, it's a wonder this show has survived this long without learning a thing. Go to Full Review Jen Chaney Washington Post 07/24/2015
While some of what was done and said in this week's installment was significant, much of it felt like pure preamble for the final two episodes in part one of season two. Go to Full Review Randy Dankievitch Processed Media 02/21/2020
[T]here is still way too much formulaic convention at the heart of the plot, and even the few strong moments are followed up by the usual ignorant self-absorbed reaction that is all too common from this band of dysfunctional survivors.
