What to Know

Critics Consensus

Tense, atmospheric, and slow-burning, "Consumed" occasionally overdoses on flashbacks but manages to convey psychological depth while making the most of its urban setting.

It's just an hour of killing time, with two fan-favorite characters - and even at doing that, The Walking Dead is still much better than it was in seasons past. Go to Full Review Kevin Fitzpatrick ScreenCrush 06/14/2018
