What to Know

Critics Consensus

While a Beth-centric episode feels unnecessary, "Slabtown" is an example of how the occasional departure from the main story can have its own tension and sense of place.

Turns out, nothing good has been happening to Beth, which should surprise no one. Go to Full Review Richard Rys New York Magazine/Vulture 01/02/2015
It was bound to happen. After what was arguably the best three episodes to start a season since we first met Rick and the gang, last night's all-Beth chapter fell flat. Go to Full Review Laura Prudom Variety 01/02/2015
It's a testament to the confidence of season five's storytelling that the hour maintains the tension of the previous three episodes even without Rick and the rest of the gang. Go to Full Review Randy Dankievitch TV Over Mind 02/27/2020
[W]here "Slabtown" might lack in interesting narrative... it makes up for with rich world construction, crafting a short film out of Beth's bloody hospital adventure. Go to Full Review Kevin Fitzpatrick ScreenCrush 06/13/2018
This was a nothing episode..."Slabtown" asked us to invest in plot and characters we'd never before had reason to care for. So, what are we left with? Go to Full Review Tom Fitzgerald and Lorenzo Marquez Tom & Lorenzo 06/08/2018
Beth as badass is boring, you'll pardon the alliteration. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
