What to Know

Critics Consensus

The Walking Dead delivers an unnerving midseason cliffhanger -- and a new and terrifying threat -- although some viewers may feel that the ghoulish Whisperers are a retread of the same old antagonists with a new, rotting face.

Brian Lowry CNN.com 11/26/2018
The longer "The Walking Dead" keeps operating on what amounts to life support, the higher the chance that the series, like its latest death, will go out less with a shout than a whisper. Go to Full Review Alex McLevy AV Club 11/26/2018
B-
It's a clever enough wrinkle, and even if it again creates the standard Walking Dead scenario of us-vs.-them struggles, it's at least closer to garbage-people weirdness than a new crew of Saviors. Go to Full Review Jeff Stone IndieWire 11/26/2018

The mid-season cliffhanger isn't much of one, and the new conflict on the horizon seems like yet another "our side versus a pack of psychopaths" story that the show has so thoroughly covered before. Go to Full Review Brandon Davis ComicBook.com 11/19/2019
The Walking Dead has put together its best half-season in years, quite possibly since Rick and Shane's relationship spiraled out of control leading to walkers overrunning Hershel's barn. Go to Full Review Brian Richards Pajiba 03/27/2019
Definitely one of the best mid-season finales in the show's history, and the fact that it leaned so strongly into its horror elements more than it usually does only added to that, even if it did involve losing another one of the show's best actors. Go to Full Review Dustin Rowles Uproxx 11/27/2018
It's completely shocking... and exactly the sort of change-up that Angela Kang continues to inject into season 9 of the series, revitalizing it creatively and turning in the best season of The Walking Dead at least since season 6. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
