Nate Rawlings TIME Magazine 07/08/2015
Because of the way the story has been laid out, we needed to follow The Governor's post-Woodbury journey, but the reality is the past two eps have been very slow and boring. Go to Full Review Richard Rys New York Magazine/Vulture 07/08/2015
5/5
This is how I want my Governor - seated on his throne of crazy, revisiting old grudges, and making life even more hellish than usual for Rick and the gang. Go to Full Review Alan Sepinwall HitFix 07/08/2015
If the end result is that [the Governor's] back to being the same clown he was before, why did we need these two episodes, other than to give paychecks to Kirk Acevedo and Enver Gjokaj? Go to Full Review Randy Dankievitch TV Over Mind 02/25/2020
The emotionally vulnerable person we saw for a few minutes in "Live Bait" is, unfortunately long gone, lost in a haze of repetitive storytelling and characterization that's become a signature touch in numerous episodes this season.

Sometimes - a lot of the time, in fact - we don't think this show deserves nearly the amount of acclaim and success it's achieved. Go to Full Review Kevin Yeoman Screen Rant 07/08/2015
Generally, episodes that spend most of their time in anticipation of what's coming up next leave the viewer wishing that the writers would just get on with it... There was certainly some of that going on here. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
