Critics Consensus

That is how I felt watching the second half of Walking Dead last night, like I just couldn't understand why it was acting so rudely when just half an hour before it had been my friend. In my heart, I knew it was better than that.

This is the sort of thing we should be seeing every episode, more or less, and it's a promising sign that the show has managed to keep the screws tight for two weeks running now.

While not quite as strong as midseason premiere 'Nebraska', it's combination of high tension, gruesome imagery and outstanding performances make for a heady cocktail.
