What to Know

Critics Consensus

The Commonwealth gets explored and proves too good to be true while "Out of the Ashes" is a believably fine table-setting installment, befitting a season that has been more solid than gutsy so far.

B-
Things just... happened, like a mid-week episode of a soap opera. It's all significant to the plot (well, most of it was), but it doesn't make for a strong episode in and of itself. Go to Full Review Richard Rys New York Magazine/Vulture 09/20/2021
3/5
It's the impossibly perfect goings-on at the Commonwealth that takes center stage and distracts from the threat of the Reapers for at least a little while. Go to Full Review David Opie Digital Spy 09/24/2021
Much like the guts of a disembowelled walker victim, The Walking Dead's final season has a lot of moving parts that need slotting back into place. Five episodes in, 'Out of the Ashes' starts to do exactly that. Go to Full Review Aidan Whatman What Culture 09/24/2021
After last week's dramatic and brilliant hour within the Reaper compound with Daryl, The Walking Dead's final season has decided to drop the ball with its latest outing, creating an episode that is the very definition of filler TV. Go to Full Review Dustin Rowles Pajiba 09/24/2021
This week's episode of The Walking Dead at least offered something of a change of pace, both back in Alexandria (where they revisited The Hilltop) and in The Commonwealth, where the most interesting things are happening this season. Go to Full Review Jeffrey Lyles Lyles' Movie Files 09/21/2021
8.5/10
Showed how fast-paced and exciting a final season episode of TWD can be when the focus is on multiple under utilized characters and a clever means of revisiting old threats. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
