Critics Consensus

This installment of The Walking Dead doesn't contain a whole lot of chomp, but it effectively entwines disparate plot threads in a way that promises a big payoff soon enough.

B-

That adds to the soap opera feel of latter-day installments, and while "Promises Broken" falls victim to that sensation in two of the three narrative threads it follows, it also manages to reignite stakes in the last one.

3/5

It's slow, not much happens, and it tees up something big for the mini-finale that's ahead. We've seen these before, and it's not a bad episode.

["Promises Broken"] was the series at its best and worst. There are many decent storylines at play here, but there's not enough time per episode to make all of them flow very well.

It might not be as riveting as last week's "On the Inside" but it opened the door to what's coming next.

All told, I really enjoyed this episode. I like that they pushed the Maggie/Negan storyline into uncharted waters, even if it's just a dipping of toes at this point.

What "Promises Broken" does so well is bounce rapidly between all these storylines without ever losing momentum. Given how much is going on, that's an extremely impressive feat (especially since that's rarely The Walking Dead's strong suit).
