Nate Rawlings TIME Magazine 07/30/2015
What we got last night illustrates the problem with mid-season finales. There were so many moments in December's mid-season finale-both genuine plot-pivot points and the "holy s-t!" variety-that this episode was bound to be a bit of a hangover. Go to Full Review J.J. Gould The Atlantic 07/30/2015
Back from midseason hiatus, The Walking Dead just demonstrated not only what it can be as a show but what TV can be as a medium. Go to Full Review Starlee Kine New York Magazine/Vulture 07/30/2015
3/5
There were a few moments when the show tried, once again, to find its footing, character-development-wise. We so rarely get a conversation that isn't about who's riding shotgun and whose carrying the shotgun that it's nice when they happen. Go to Full Review Randy Dankievitch Processed Media 02/19/2020

'The Suicide King' isn't a particularly compelling episode, but it continues the trend of less zombie crap, and more interpersonal drama, which is the show's best material. Go to Full Review Kevin Fitzpatrick ScreenCrush 06/11/2018
"The Suicide King" offers a much quieter, contemplative episode than its predecessor. Go to Full Review Josh Jackson Paste Magazine 07/30/2015
8.2/10
