The World Before Ratings & Reviews
Pajiba
Brian Richards
Not a bad episode, but as a midseason finale, it could've been better and given us more reason to care about everything that's happening and to look forward to the eventual war against the Whisperers.
SFX Magazine
Alex Avard
"The World Before" marks a perfectly tolerable denouement for what has been a radically inconsistent collection of episodes for season 10 so far. Events are now primed for what I hope is a punchier and more satisfying latter half.
Decider
Alexander Zalben
We still ended up with Pirate Michonne by midseason, which feels pretty good.
Culturess
Sonya Iryna
The first half of season 10 of The Walking Dead flew by.
Syfy Wire
Alyse Wax
Carol has a mini-meltdown in the forest and Daryl confronts her... It is a sweet, tender moment. I don't really ship them, but it makes a hell of a lot more sense than trying to force a Daryl/Connie romance to happen.
Father Son Holy Gore
C.H. Newell
What a nasty, lovely cliffhanger for this mid-season finale! Better than waiting around to see Negan kill people like a few seasons ago.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
Through the first half of the 10th season, the series has regained a degree of momentum, thanks to the way the writers have showcased key characters.
Den of Geek
Ron Hogan
On one hand, it sets up a couple of effective cliffhangers, but on the other hand, it also seems to drag its feet a lot getting to those cliffhangers.
IGN Movies
Matt Fowler
The best parts of "The World Before" happened in the first half, leaving Michonne's choice to take off with a stranger, across water, to find some guns, feeling like a sag and stumble in the story.
io9.com
Rob Bricken
Heroes abandoned their morality, characters were so focused on killing bad guys they became idiots, and some supremely ludicrous things happened, all to set up a "shocking" ending that was completely unearned.
Uproxx
Dustin Rowles
It was underwhelming, but only in the sense that we expected more from a midseason finale.
Geek Girl Authority
Noetta Harjo
As much as I like The Walking Dead story building and the character development, this silent warfare is slow. The Whisperers are definitely in control and it's frustrating. It's time for Team Family to get a win.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Richard Rys
Any concerns about an unresolved cliffhanger for the Dante/Sid showdown are dispelled right away in what turns out to be a tense, satisfying midseason finale.
TV Fanatic
Paul Dailly
In some respects, it worked. In others, it felt like the producers forgot about a lot of storylines that should have gotten resolved, or at the very least, gotten some more steam to keep fans pondering as they await the next batch of episodes.
Tell-Tale TV
Kevin Lever
The Walking Dead Season 10 Episode 8, "The World Before," follows through on the psychological horror that the Whisperers cause, but stumbles with stretching out the physical threat when all signs pointed to at least some form of a conclusion.
indieWire
Jeff Stone
For the most part, "The World Before" is a perfectly solid "Walking Dead" entry. It successfully juggles several storylines without feeling as inconsequential as "Bonds," probably because some stories are just beginning while others are winding down.
Lyles' Movie Files
Jeffrey Lyles
The World Before didn't have that shocking gut punch cliffhanger of last year's mid-season mark, but it did set up some potentially enticing subplots.
Forbes
Erik Kain
The Gabriel vs Dante and Rosita vs Dante scenes were both spectacular, but the whole "find the herd" plot and everything Whisperer related-including the weirdly anticlimactic cliffhanger-are just "meh.
AV Club
Alex McLevy
"The World Before" sticks to the template of the season, fusing together several plots into an uneven whole, cutting promising storylines short while elongating others that need to get wrapped up.
We Live Entertainment
Aaron Neuwirth
I can't help but think there were a lot of missed opportunities to do more with what was available.
