Cobalt Ratings & Reviews
The NitPic
Angela L. Harmon
Fear the Walking Dead is, almost surprisingly, concerning itself much less with the presence of the undead than examining the ugliness of the panicked human condition...
Digital Spy
Alex Mullane
We know them a lot better than we knew the cast of the original at this point; they should be at least as fascinating. But they're not.
PopMatters
M. King Adkins
The end of Cobalt... suggest[s] change is coming to the show's plotline and level of action. For the first time, the walkers appear as a large-scale threat (if one that has so far been contained) rather than a distant worry.
SFX Magazine
Will Salmon
In Cobalt things actually happen and we learn more about both the plot and some of the key players.
Lyles' Movie Files
Jeffrey Lyles
Fear's debut season has had some up and down moments, but this was a standout episode and the one likely to get viewers hooked and bring back those who ditched it earlier.
The Young Folks
Kellie Sheridan
Cobalt still made for an interesting episode, and it absolutely wasn't bad TV, but I think I have to give up hope on this ever being the show I was hoping it would be.
Tampa Bay Times
Chelsea Tatham
Fear gave us another great cliffhanger to drive us crazy until next week's season finale. The military is definitely leaving, but what will happen to those left behind? I can't wait to see how two educators and their families fare in the Cali desert.

Cory Barker
Not to say that first seasons shouldn't be for experimenting, there's just so little time to make anything stick in this case that you have to wonder how many warring elements are too many, this soon.
Wall Street Journal
Paul Vigna
It is easily the best episode yet.
Rolling Stone
Noel Murray
So long as the writing and the characters can stay as strong as they are here... then Fear's future looks bright. Or at least as bright as a zombie apocalypse can ever be.
TV Fanatic
Sean McKenna
Fear the Walking Dead Season 1 Episode 5 was able to introduce a fascinating new character right from the outset of the hour.
Vox
Emily VanDerWerff
A fascinating ride through the sequestered neighborhood at the show's center.
Screen Rant
Kevin Yeoman
This week it is all about peeling away the pretense of security layer by layer - among other things - and showing how the world of Fear the Walking Dead is actually much closer to the end than any of the main characters could have possibly imagined.
Observer
Vinnie Mancuso
Cobalt means the time for optimism is over, and the time for panic is now. And THAT may be the best option for this show going forward.
Paste Magazine
Josh Jackson
The stakes are high, and the "enemy" is neither just a bunch of zombies or a a handful of evildoers but an institution that was created to protect you but now believes you're a lost cause.
Guardian
Brian Moylan
Well, we're five episodes in, one episode away from the end of this first season, and we finally meet our first breakout character of the series.
Entertainment Weekly
Jonathon Dornbush
Rubn Blades has quickly risen to be the MVP of the series so far.
AV Club
Josh Modell
The question that had interested/nagged me a bit over Fear The Walking Dead's first few episodes was answered tonight, in a couple of interesting, insightful ways.
New York Times
Jeremy Egner
Titled "Cobalt," the episode was an anxious, nervy hour that resisted overwrought obviousness - the Achilles' heel of The Walking Dead - in favor of shaded musings on the moral relativism of the survival instinct.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Simon Abrams
The exhaustively blunt nature of Fear the Walking Dead's dialogue feels relatively out of place given that characters are supposedly still deciding what post-zombie life is going to be like.
