What to Know

Critics Consensus

An okay capper to a strong half-season, "Coda" alternates between electrifying tension and a meandering plot.

Laura Prudom Variety Jan 2, 2015
The loss of Beth will serve as the dramatic impetus for [the rest still alive], rippling out across the group to remind them that there are no happy endings here -- that even when they're together, they'll never truly be safe. Go to Full Review Zack Handlen AV Club Jan 2, 2015
Okay, so as good as The Walking Dead has gotten this season, it still isn't perfect. As proof, I give you "Coda," a mid-season finale which almost, but not entirely, manages to squander the goodwill the show has been building for itself all fall. Go to Full Review Alan Sepinwall HitFix Jan 2, 2015
[I] accept last week's underwhelming episode as a necessary evil that was putting all the pieces in place for what I hoped would be a strong conclusion tonight. Instead, "Coda" was just as limp and disappointing as "Crossed." Go to Full Review Randy Dankievitch TV Over Mind Feb 27, 2020
Acting as a mid-season finale, "Coda" is mostly an hour of unevenly-paced narrative, highlighted by a final act that abandons the season's slow-burning narrative to get to its signature moment of shock. Go to Full Review Kevin Fitzpatrick ScreenCrush Jun 14, 2018
Midseason finales of The Walking Dead have steadily proven more and more difficult to construct. Go to Full Review Tom Fitzgerald and Lorenzo Marquez Tom & Lorenzo Jun 6, 2018
Felt like the culling of narrative dead weight that the show needed. Unfortunately, that's about the only thing about this mid-season finale (the "jumbo shrimp" of TV programming) that we agreed with. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
