Never-ending battle scenes were confusingly staged; characters are still monologuing as if coughing up selected excerpts from Shakespeare For Dummies. Go to Full Review Kelly Lawler USA Today 10/30/2017
It's frustrating to see the series stumble so quickly after a promising start. And it's even more frustrating to see it dig back into the past instead of working with something new. Go to Full Review Noel Murray Rolling Stone 10/30/2017
The quality of the combat this week is high enough to inspire hope for what lies ahead. Go to Full Review Carolyn Hinds Black Girl Nerds 08/05/2021
The Walking Dead continues to deliver tension, action and emotional struggles with characters in this season's second episod. Go to Full Review Noetta Harjo Geek Girl Authority 04/22/2020

Other than the weird close-up shots, this was a great episode. It's hard to suck when you have wall-to-wall fighting, and I feel like this week we got more zombies than we have in a while. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
