The Walking Dead - S10 • E5 Ratings & Reviews
SFX Magazine
Alex Avard
The leisurely pace of recent episodes was agonizing, but a stronger focus and more interesting scenarios make "What It Always Is" a far more tolerable viewing experience, albeit one that isn't without its hiccups.
Decider
Alexander Zalben
Can Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) be redeemed?... That's exactly what TWD grapples with on this week's episode, in a metatextual way that doesn't offer any easy answers.
Culturess
Sonya Iryna
The Whisperers aren't the only ones wearing masks on The Walking Dead, as the writers have been stealthily pointing out throughout season 10 so far.
Syfy Wire
Alyse Wax
This entire storyline went nowhere. I'm assuming Magna's heinous attitude, and why she has been planning to run will be addressed at some point, but wow, Magna is getting on my last nerve.
Pajiba
Brian Richards
This episode was a strong showcase for Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who gets to play Negan as getting some of his swagger back while also being reminded in bloody and painful ways that he still has a hell of a lot to answer for.
Father Son Holy Gore
C.H. Newell
Definitely a bit tougher to hate Negan when we see him with the boy... Their brief bond is tender and hilarious at the same time.
Geek Girl Authority
Noetta Harjo
I really like how The Walking Dead is addressing disabilities and PTSD in the zombie apocalypse. And now they are addressing cancer.

Dustin Rowles
The best of the season, so far.

Rob Bricken
It was a busy but thoroughly compelling episode of The Walking Dead-with more than a few surprises.
Tell-Tale TV
Kevin Lever
The Walking Dead Season 10 Episode 5, "What Is Always Is," is a harder episode, punishing its characters as they try to find some peace in their difficulties.
TV Fanatic
Paul Dailly
It's nice that the show is bringing some realism back into the narrative because post-apocalyptic shows, in general, tend to forget that people don't just die because of the apocalypse.
indieWire
Jeff Stone
Most "Walking Dead" episodes move like molasses, but this week's entry has no less than four significant plot threads going, which at least keeps the pace pulsing. Unfortunately, all but one of those threads have major problems.
Lyles' Movie Files

What It Always Is sets up a lot of pieces are coming in place to leave us on a high note as we approach the midseason finale.
We Live Entertainment
Aaron Neuwirth
I find myself very interested in seeing these "villains" combine.
IGN Movies
Matt Fowler
"What It Always Is" worked as a rare episode of Walking Dead that actually gave us a nice bookended story. In this case, Negan's 180 turn back into full leather-jacketed, bat-swinging Negan
AV Club
Alex McLevy
Here we are, with Jeffrey Dean Morgan reminding everyone why the show hired him in the first place. He's a terrifically charismatic actor... and by springing him from that damn jail cell, he's getting a chance to show his chops.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Richard Rys
As much as I sympathize with Kelly and her rapidly advancing hearing loss, the opening scene does not quite do justice to the events that unfold and the questions answered in this episode.
Forbes
Erik Kain
Negan's transformation, from a very bad man to a sort-of-good man is something I had a hard time imagining, but it works remarkably well on screen.
Den of Geek
Ron Hogan
Jeffrey Dean Morgan does a good job at showing Negan's struggle to slip back into character; he's been allowed to be a real person so long that he's having difficult slipping back into the larger-than-life persona he used to be.
