The Walking Dead - S9 • E15 Ratings & Reviews
Syfy Wire
Alyse Wax
It was a beautifully structured ending.
We Live Entertainment
Aaron Neuwirth
"The Calm Before" is an incredibly strong episode of The Walking Dead, as it finds the ways to hit a viewer properly. It delivers on the level of danger one wants to see and hits at emotions without feeling manipulative.
Pajiba
Brian Richards
It says a lot about how strong and incredibly well-done this episode was that, even after nine seasons and dozens of brutal and shocking deaths, this episode and how it ended still made me go "Holy sh*t!"
Uproxx
Dustin Rowles
Props to showrunner Angela Kang for all the misdirection these last few episodes.
Nerdist
Luke Y. Thompson
The time was right in tonight's episode for a big, shocking palate-cleanser.
Vanity Fair
Laura Bradley
All told, this episode was par for the course in a season that has clearly wanted to telegraph hope as its main message, but hasn't been able to find the solid narrative footing to get its viewers there.
TV Fanatic
Steve Ford
"The Calm Before" could have easily served as a proper season finale, but I'm excited that we'll get one more episode in what has been a revitalizing season for The Walking Dead.
Tell-Tale TV
Kevin Lever
The Walking Dead doesn't usually get extended stretches of happiness like this, but it works wonderfully in growing characters and in giving them a brief (too brief) moment to breathe.
SFX Magazine
Alex Avard
The Calm Before turns an iconic Walking Dead moment into something unexpectedly powerful, cementing season 9 as a new high bar for the show.
Paste Magazine
Jim Vorel
All in all, this is probably the most purely devastating and emotionally affecting episode of The Walking Dead we've seen in the last couple of years.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Richard Rys
Alpha proves she's even more deranged and dangerous than anyone thought. The result is one of the show's most memorably shocking scenes ever and the best episode in a long time.

Rob Bricken
I could never have imagined that this would happen -- a turn so surprising and so tragic, it matches Game of Thrones' Red Wedding better than anything else.
indieWire
Jeff Stone
On the one hand, it's an effective piece of horror... But as another chapter in the ongoing narrative, it just makes me want to throw up my hands. Here, again, is another pile of agonizing misery for our heroes.
IGN Movies
Matt Fowler
Usually, because of past sins, the show's smoke and mirrors tactics evoke eye rolls, but here everything felt a bit more devilish and delicious.
Geek Girl Authority
Noetta Harjo
This was an opportunity for The Walking Dead to really shock the audience, especially those who have read the source material... That's the only part I'm missing. I don't see some of the characters enough to care.
Forbes
Erik Kain
A shockingly brutal episode that helped thin the bloated Walking Dead cast.
Entertainment Weekly
Nick Romano
In any case, these deaths served their purpose. The peace and calm of day-to-day life established throughout the episode was overturned, reminding everyone that, no, maybe you're not done losing for a while.
Den of Geek
Alec Bojalad
The extra-long penultimate episode of Season 9 is a stellar exercise in taking a television show and making it look like an event.
Empire Magazine
James White
The impact was a little mixed, but it was an effective moment of horror, carried all the more by the reactions of Carol and other regulars.
AV Club
Alex McLevy
If "Warning Signs" was this season's high-water mark for showing how the series can evolve... "The Calm Before" was an elegy for the old days, an excellent tribute to everything that used to make it compelling in its early years.
