What to Know

Critics Consensus

"Conquer" addresses some unresolved issues with suspense and, as a good finale should, paves the way for season six, even if it leaves a few threads untied.

"Conquer," the 90-minute finale, was about two things: how much some characters have changed, and how much they haven't. Go to Full Review Emily St. James Vox 03/30/2015
Rick might be too alert. He might be unable to communicate with normal human beings in normal fashion anymore. But he's ready, dammit. Go to Full Review Laura Prudom Variety 03/30/2015
This season has been a tour de force for Andrew Lincoln, whose rousing speech at the end of the episode proved unequivocally why these people need to put their faith in him. Go to Full Review Randy Dankievitch TV Over Mind 03/04/2020
