The Walking Dead - S5 • E8 Ratings & Reviews
TV Over Mind
Randy Dankievitch
Acting as a mid-season finale, "Coda" is mostly an hour of unevenly-paced narrative, highlighted by a final act that abandons the season's slow-burning narrative to get to its signature moment of shock.
ScreenCrush
Kevin Fitzpatrick
Midseason finales of The Walking Dead have steadily proven more and more difficult to construct.
Tom & Lorenzo
Tom Fitzgerald and Lorenzo Marquez
Felt like the culling of narrative dead weight that the show needed. Unfortunately, that's about the only thing about this mid-season finale (the "jumbo shrimp" of TV programming) that we agreed with.
We Got This Covered
Adam A. Donaldson
As we approached the midseason finale of The Walking Dead, one question hung over the proceedings: What could happen in the episode to make Norman Reedus cry?
Cleveland Plain Dealer
Troy L. Smith
Season 5 of The Walking Dead began swiftly... Things have slowed down since. But there was still a feeling that the midseason finale, titled "Coda," would go out with a bang. And so it did.
TV Fanatic
Sean McKenna
While Beth's death was a major one, and there were some solid moments, this episode unfortunately meandered about until it rushed things at the end. The midseason finale didn't quite hold onto that strong start the The Walking Dead Season 5 initiated.
Variety
Laura Prudom
The loss of Beth will serve as the dramatic impetus for [the rest still alive], rippling out across the group to remind them that there are no happy endings here -- that even when they're together, they'll never truly be safe.
AV Club
Zack Handlen
Okay, so as good as The Walking Dead has gotten this season, it still isn't perfect. As proof, I give you "Coda," a mid-season finale which almost, but not entirely, manages to squander the goodwill the show has been building for itself all fall.
IGN Movies
Matt Fowler
As a midseason capper, "Coda" was a bit of a mixed bag. But then we came back from the commercial break and the episode had skipped a few beats.
HitFix
Alan Sepinwall
[I] accept last week's underwhelming episode as a necessary evil that was putting all the pieces in place for what I hoped would be a strong conclusion tonight. Instead, "Coda" was just as limp and disappointing as "Crossed."
Slant Magazine
Chris Cabin
The electrifying opening of "Coda" doesn't foreshadow the devastating exit of Beth, but it comes to suggest something about the rivalry between Rick's group and the Grady Memorial staff.
TV.com
Tim Surette
Season 5 has been largely about The Walking Dead showing restraint, but holding back didn't work out for "Coda." The Grady Memorial Hospital plot was already boring and underdeveloped, and it went out on a boring note and underexplained.
Zap2it.com
Terri Schwartz
The Walking Dead constantly tests its viewers, most recently with Beth's decision to sacrifice herself, and it's exciting to think about the new ways the show will change and challenge when it comes back.
Paste Magazine
Shane Ryan
I thought Andrew Lincoln's performance was just stellar all episode. He just keeps getting better and better in this series, and the days when people would mock him for his slow, stoic demeanor should be long gone after the last two seasons.
Los Angeles Times
Patrick Kevin Day
The first half of this season was a considerable boost from the meandering travels of the second half of last season. With their mission to [D.C.] in tatters after Eugene's revelation, it's unclear exactly what "the mission" now is for Rick's crew.
Tampa Bay Times
Sean Daly
The final 10 minutes in the hospital corridor were taut with Hitchcockian angles and switcheroos. Good, gripping stuff, considering how significant swaths of the hour were so sloggy and talky and go-nowhere-y.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Richard Rys
The episode was surprising on two levels. I figured we were being set up for major bloodshed, and that at least two major cast members would say good-bye. It also tied up this first half more neatly than expected, with no real cliff-hangers.
Screen Rant
Kevin Yeoman
For all of the table setting 'Crossed' accomplished, the midseason finale struggled to get everyone to sit down at that table. What should have been a well-organized post-Thanksgiving feast turned into a jumbled assortment of misread table assignments.
