The first two acts of The Walking Dead Season 2 finale were full of excitement, honest to God suspense and characters who came up with pretty decent plans on the fly. Go to Full Review Starlee Kine New York Magazine/Vulture 07/28/2015
It's just amazing how much smoother the plot holes go down when something is actually happening on this show. Go to Full Review Alan Sepinwall HitFix 07/28/2015
