The Walking Dead: Every Season 6 Episode Ranked Worst To Best

16. Now

Every season of The Walking Dead has an episode like Now; one with great potential and intriguing set-ups that somehow squanders every aspect of its narrative into an hour of filler where nothing new really happens.

After the Wolves attack earlier in the season, Rick returns to Alexandria and the community is surrounded. The episode spends the rest of its runtime bombarding audiences with exposition, revealing that Maggie's pregnant, that Denise doesn't trust her abilities as a doctor, and that Deanna has lost faith in her leadership.

Whilst all this sounds interesting, all the reveals are fairly obvious going in, and the episode's inability to allow its characters to grow and confront themselves is actually quite frustrating. After such a strong start, season six hits its first lull here.
