What to Know

Critics Consensus

"Now" provides deeper portrayals of some of the Alexandria crew -- but at the expense of furthering the stories of the Walking Dead characters we actually care about.

There's an interesting formula: 1 x the greater good = 1 x the lesser bad.

[T]he most lifeless episode of The Walking Dead in recent memory. Go to Full Review Kevin Fitzpatrick ScreenCrush 06/18/2018
