What to Know

Critics Consensus

"Adaptation" creepily fleshes out the Whisperers beyond their rotting camouflage to chilling effect and teases that redemption for the irredeemable Negan may be possible -- adding up to a solid and satisfying return for The Walking Dead.

James White Empire Magazine 02/11/2019
3/5
There's the creeping feeling that it hasn't yet done enough to win back a lot of viewers, and the whole tension-between-the-communities angle has apparently taken a backseat for now without much in the way of real resolution. Go to Full Review Richard Rys New York Magazine/Vulture 02/11/2019
3/5
Not sure I'm ready for Negan's transformation into one of the good guys yet, but the thought of him teaming up with Judith and taking out these skin-mask freaks is a good first step on his road to redemption. Go to Full Review Nick Romano Entertainment Weekly 02/11/2019
All these comic book throwbacks serve as warnings that those casualties we've been worried about may soon come to pass, but the show never serves a beat-for-beat adaptation. Go to Full Review Brian Richards Pajiba 03/27/2019
The episode was a solid return for The Walking Dead, and does a very convincing job of showing us just how much of a threat that The Whisperers are going to be for everyone. Go to Full Review Kevin Lever Tell-Tale TV 02/21/2019
3.5/5
The Walking Dead is at its best when everyone is out of their comfort zone, and with isolation and fear taking hold of characters, it's a wonderful way to start the back half of the season. Go to Full Review Alyse Wax Syfy Wire 02/12/2019
My favorite line this week is when Eugene sees a horde of zombies coming at them, and he wonders if they are live or "original recipe" walkers. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
