What to Know

Critics Consensus

Signs are pointing to The Walking Dead closing out with a shudder instead of a chomp, but Carol and Negan's gristly chemistry gives this installment some distinction.

3/5
There’s a lot going on. But much like chapter two’s lukewarm cliffhanger, this episode feels like part three’s engine is idling, not revving up. Go to Full Review

B-
Both episodes end on satisfying cliffhangers - the first of which is resolved right away at the start of episode two - but they're still missing some of the wow factor that usually makes a "TWD" premiere feel special. Go to Full Review
Vanessa Maki The Mary Sue 10/07/2022
Season 11 hasn’t been my favorite, if I’m being honest. Thankfully the 11C premiere (episode 17, “Lockdown”) gave us some quality Carol and Negan scenes. Separately and together. They play off each other in a way that’s entertaining to watch. Go to Full Review

4/5
There is a sense of looming tragedy, as the series starts to move players into position for The Walking Dead’s last, decisive showdown. Go to Full Review
Dustin Rowles Pajiba 10/04/2022
The character motivations in this week's episode didn't make a lot of sense; there are a number of plotholes; and even with the urgency of only eight episodes remaining, it still feels like it's spinning its wheels toward an underwhelming finale. Go to Full Review
Erik Kain Forbes 10/03/2022
The problem with The Walking Dead is that it never built to anything bigger. The structure of the show has been the same for years. Go to Full Review
