Jacob Stolworthy Independent (UK) 10/29/2018
It seems the show's about to lose its main character in a traumatising way. Go to Full Review James White Empire Magazine 10/29/2018
4/5
This season has so far been a mixed one; while some elements have been watchable and it's a blessed relief to be away from the driving misery of All Out War, there are still times it feels as though the show doesn't quite know how to sustain any plotline. Go to Full Review Richard Rys New York Magazine/Vulture 10/29/2018
4/5
That's two excellent episodes in a row that deliver just about everything you want from The Walking Dead - zombie mayhem, plot twists, really dumb decisions with catastrophic consequences, and not just one but a slew of cliffhangers. Go to Full Review Brian Richards Pajiba 10/30/2018
I'd like to think that Rick's swan song will be a little less sudden and polarizing when it airs next Sunday, but knowing this show and how it goes, all I can really do is just give the Powers That Be the benefit of the doubt. Go to Full Review Erica Mariera Culturess 10/29/2018
Maggie's plan to go to Alexandria and visit Negan unfolds. As a result, Rick ends up in a devastating situation that may impact his exit. Go to Full Review Nick Venable CinemaBlend 10/29/2018
The cliffhanger ending is bound to polarize fans as much as any other big moment in this franchise, if not more so. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
