Now Ratings & Reviews
TV Over Mind
Randy Dankievitch
[T]he most lifeless episode of The Walking Dead in recent memory.
ScreenCrush
Kevin Fitzpatrick
So much of what we've seen thus far hammers home the idea of Alexandrians as weaklings and redshirts anyway, and "Now" gave us some decent opportunity to actually care about a few.
The Age (Australia)
Karl Quinn
There's an interesting formula: 1 x the greater good = 1 x the lesser bad. If that isn't the most succinct and devastating critique of the self-justifying corruption of political elites you'll ever find in a TV show about zombies ... I don't know what is.
Digital Spy
Morgan Jeffery
'Now' has its moments, but while it's not an outright dud, it's the least satisfying episode of this season so far, and by quite some margin.
SFX Magazine
Will Salmon
The Walking Dead has had extremely high standards the last couple of years, so when a duff episode comes along it's all the more noticeable.
Rolling Stone
Noel Murray
It's called "Now" - but has another Walking Dead episode ever felt less urgent?
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
The wheel-spinning low point of an otherwise stellar season of The Walking Dead.
TV Line
Andy Patrick
In the aftermath of the Wolves' attack, morale in Alexandria was at an all-time low in this week's episode of The Walking Dead... But then, the strangest thing happened. A few of the Alexandrians seemed to turn a corner.
New York Daily News
Nicole Lyn Pesce
The relatively uneventful episode allowed us to catch our collective breaths as we returned to Alexandria, which has finally gotten a dose of what the world is like "Now."
Baltimore Sun
Jon Sham
It kind of felt at times that we were going back and forth from these really horrible, deep scenes into a soap opera.
IGN Movies
Matt Fowler
"Now" was an effective come down episode, but a come down episode nonetheless.
indieWire
Jeff Stone
This episode covers some necessary character turns, but it mostly feels like checking off boxes before getting back to the exciting stuff.
Entertainment Weekly
Jonathon Dornbush
"Now" is about accepting the reality of the moment, reality of course being quite subjective, it seems.
New York Times
Jeremy Egner
The rest of this week's installment - which wasn't my favorite, just to put that out there - tracked the Alexandrians' sputtering efforts to finally accept how the world is "now," which was the episode's title.
Independent (UK)
Alex Straker
'Now' is something of an oddity, an episode that initially suggests another adrenaline-heavy hour of intense action but never really delivers what it promises.
Wall Street Journal
Paul Vigna
This was another episode that was more talkie than killie, but it came with tension as thick as a 20-deep horde of walkers.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Richard Rys
This episode serves as a moment to catch our breath and set the scene for the final three installments of this first half. Translation: a snoozer, with one whopper of a hunch is confirmed, and the major question left unanswered for another week.
Guardian
Brian Moylan
The great thing about this episode was that the fans were in the same predicament as the characters: waiting to see if Glenn was dead or not.
The Atlantic
David Sims
It seems every season of The Walking Dead has to include a dud like this one-an episode that keeps time and lets its characters catch their breath after suffering through their latest traumas.
AV Club
Zack Handlen
Maggie and Aaron make a good team, and the moderate optimism with which their story ends this week is satisfying, even if it is potentially misguided. But then, on The Walking Dead, optimism is always misguided.
