The Walking Dead - S8 • E5 Ratings & Reviews
Geek Girl Authority
Noetta Harjo
Again... we have been living the same day for 5 episodes! I'm exhausted.
Syfy Wire
Alyse Wax
I didn't find this to be a satisfying "villain reveal" episode.
io9.com
Rob Bricken
"The Big Scary U" was a reminder that the show can be legitimately excellent TV thanks to its first truly thoughtful and compelling look at Negan-and the reason why he calls his people the Saviors.
CBR
Alexandra August
"The Big Scary U" finally gave us a much-needed break from the "All Out War" storyline in the form of an incredibly revelatory episode about Negan and the philosophy that guides him.
TV Equals
Mark Trammell
I've quite enjoyed the season so far. Any complaints that last season was too slow-moving have been readily addressed- there's already been more action this season damn near than the last two seasons combined.
Digital Spy
Morgan Jeffery
'The Big Scary U' did so much for the Negan character, more than his previous 11 appearances put together.
The Verge
Nick Statt
... one of the best episodes the show has produced in quite some time.
Screen Rant
Sarah Moran
"The Big Scary U" is an episode that's longer than it needs to be, includes extraneous scenes that seem to only be there to pad out the runtime, but it somehow also contains some of the best scenes in season 8.
Refinery29
Shaunna Murphy
"The Big Scary U" did convey for the first time ever why so many Saviors - the proletariat class especially - remain loyal to Negan, even when a seemingly much better option like Rick Grimes comes along.
Lyles' Movie Files
Jeffrey Lyles
This wasn't the biggest episode of the season, but at least it set in motion some intriguing storylines.
SFX Magazine
Sam Loveridge
Thankfully, the The Big Scary U has delivered. At last. It finally resolves the whole caravan situation - but in true Walking Dead style - does it in the slowest possible manner.
Den of Geek
John Saavedra
The Walking Dead delivers the best Negan episode of the series. It's not amazing, but it's a start.
indieWire
Jeff Stone
It's a Negan episode. Wait, don't go! It's actually much better than it sounds! In fact, "The Big Scary U" is not only the best episode of Season 8, it might be better than any episode from Season 7.
New York Times
Charles Bramesco
Gabriel locked with a psychopath in a trailer... At least this craven move frees up Gabriel for a bottle episode that mines for substantive truths about human behavior during periods of extreme crisis. It largely strikes pay dirt.
Rolling Stone
Noel Murray
This week's episode -- "The Big Scary U" -- is an unusual hour of TWD, with about a third of it dedicated to flashbacks that are meant to fill in some crucial story-gaps. It's also the best episode of the season so far.
AV Club
Zack Handlen
At least every storyline feels like it's building towards something more interesting than just repeating the same themes the show has wallowed in since its inception.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Richard Rys
If the first four episodes were a mosh pit of action, this one was Nirvana Unplugged. The return of Negan offers a tantalizing glimpse into his backstory, his organizational philosophy, and the inner workings of the Saviors' executive board.
Guardian
Luke Holland
Not quite the thigh-slapping joy of last week then, but hardly a complete misfire, and still better than any episode last season. I'm still optimistic to see where it goes from here.
Entertainment Weekly
Nick Romano
It's a lot of fluff. I can excuse a lot of these kinds of flashbacks if they contribute to the larger narrative, but there's little to be gained from these scenes.
USA Today
Kelly Lawler
Although The Walking Dead has introduced and killed off its fair share of characters over the past eight years, it just can't make Negan and his minions either interesting or remotely sympathetic.
