What to Know

Critics Consensus

"The King, The Widow, and Rick" spreads itself between too many storylines, and thereby doesn't accomplish much in the process.

It's unsure how Jadis and co will factor into the season's game plan but whether you'll even care remains the bigger uncertainty. Go to Full Review Nick Romano Entertainment Weekly 11/27/2017

Another hour of this story has gone by, but it seems we've still barely moved from where we left off the week before. Go to Full Review Kelly Lawler USA Today 11/27/2017
Even the best... of the bunch make the worst and most ill-advised decisions, and it's exasperating to watch. Coupled with the wheel-spinning of this slow episode, "The King, the Widow, and Rick" ended up being a dull and frustrating outing for TWD. Go to Full Review Carolyn Hinds Black Girl Nerds 08/03/2021
From the beginning of this season, I've felt like the show has become disjointed, and the actions taken by the characters only reinforces this for me. Go to Full Review Noetta Harjo Geek Girl Authority 04/22/2020
ROSITA! Nice kill! She gets the MVP of the week. The Saviors have definitely underestimated the women of Alexandria, The Kingdom and Hilltop. Go to Full Review Alyse Wax Syfy Wire 07/09/2018
A solid episode...this episode didn't feel boring, or unnecessarily "artsy." Go to Full Review Read all reviews
