[It] proves once again that the zombie stuff is not only why we got hooked in the first place, it's the sole reason we, the viewers, keep popping back up no matter how many times we get stabbed in the back. Go to Full Review Zack Handlen AV Club 07/28/2015

In "Better Angels," Shane finally steps up and goes from dangerous/creepy/occasionally murderous and rapey loose canon to out and out baddie, and while it doesn't last very long... his actions provide a clarity this show has so often lacked. Go to Full Review Nate Rawlings TIME Magazine 07/28/2015
In a nice balance of drama and action. Go to Full Review Tom Fitzgerald and Lorenzo Marquez Tom & Lorenzo 06/06/2018
We're excited about Walking Dead again! How much does it suck that there's only one episode left? Go to Full Review Andy Greenwald Grantland 07/28/2015

The final face-off between Rick and Shane - once loyal partners, now bitter enemies - is almost sickeningly tense. Both Bernthal and Andrew Lincoln are utterly, utterly superb. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
