Guardians Ratings & Reviews
Pajiba
Brian Richards
Samantha Morton continues to remind us of how amazing and compelling she is as Alpha, and kudos to the show's writers for giving her so much good material to work with.
Geek Girl Authority
Noetta Harjo
This was an interesting look at the tough decisions mothers have to make to protect their kids. On one hand, Alpha uses tough love to teach Lydia about the dangers of the world.
Tell-Tale TV
Kevin Lever
"Guardians" finds The Walking Dead building a foundation of how one community can thrive on togetherness while another remains out of fear. It's a strong episode about the ways leaders use or abuse their power.
IGN Movies
Matt Fowler
The Whisperer elements this week are a little redundant, since we learned most of the important stuff over the past few weeks, but Ryan Hurst's Beta looks pretty badass!
Uproxx
Dustin Rowles
Saddled in the back half of the season with six episodes of material and eight episodes to fill, The Walking Dead slipped into neutral this week as it continues to move pieces into place.
SFX Magazine
Alex Avard
Examines the lengths we'll go to protect the people, things, and ideas we care about. That thematic underlay gave this chapter of The Walking Dead a much better sense of cohesion, pace, and purpose than the previous episode, "Bounty."
TV Fanatic
Steve Ford
This was an enthralling episode that provided an in-depth look at Alpha and her merry band of skin-wearing misfits' way of life.
Paste Magazine
Jim Vorel
The fact is this: The Whisperers are "interesting" antagonists. They can be creepy or spooky antagonists. But capable and competent antagonists? That they most certainly aren't.
indieWire
Jeff Stone
The Walking Dead has so conditioned us to expect the worst (especially when characters start displaying empathy), that it taints what should be a nice redemptive moment for Michonne.
AV Club
Alex McLevy
The scenes depicting life among the Whisperers are far more interesting than a lot of what we've been getting from our heroes in the back half of season nine.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Richard Rys
Offers an up-close-and-personal look at two very different leaders who share one thing -- a willingness to do (almost) anything necessary to keep their people safe.
io9.com
Rob Bricken
The Walking Dead veers so wildly between good and bad, it's actually sort of refreshing when an episode is simply fine. Tonight's episode was exactly that.
Empire Magazine
James White
Largely a meditation on leadership, and different attitudes to maintaining control in an apocalyptic world. Unfortunately, none of the examples presented led to exactly compelling drama or anything in the way of new material for the show.
CBR
Alexandra August
Samantha Morton's Alpha is already the most ruthless villain in the history of The Walking Dead.
Forbes
Erik Kain
An okay if largely uneventful episode that's obviously just setting the stage for bigger and more dire episodes to come (I hope).
Den of Geek
Ron Hogan
"Guardians" is one of the most well-rounded episodes of The Walking Dead Season 9, and it's a fine return to form for a show that has shown marked improvement under the direction of Angela Kang.
Syfy Wire
Alyse Wax
I like that Judith doesn't lie to her mom about Negan. I get the sense that this is calculated on her part. It's not that she doesn't have the ability to lie; she just doesn't see a point to it.
