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 Oct 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 Oct 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 Aug 5, 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 Apr 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
