The Walking Dead: Every Season 8 Episode Ranked Worst To Best

16. The King, The Widow, And Rick

The King, The Widow, and Rick isn't just the most hilariously poor titled episode of the series, it's often regarded as perhaps the worst, and it's painfully obvious why.

Spreading itself dangerously thin over a handful of directionless subplots, it follows Rick as he tries to make a deal with the still-boring Scavengers, only to be kidnapped; Maggie as she attempts to keep everyone - including some captive Saviors - happy at Hilltop; and Aaron as he and Enid venture off on an unknown mission.

There's also plotlines with Daryl and Tara, Carl and a desperate Siddiq, and even Ezekiel and Carol as they deal with their loses in the war. It's an overwhelming amount of melodrama to get through, and not one part of it comes together in a compelling way. It's messy and narratively empty, and is crushingly boring to boot.
