Pretty good read? For fans that hate the show maybe;

Unfortunately, this is a storytelling move typical of The Walking Dead — a fourth-rate zombie movie stretched out over 83 hours that has produced just one halfway interesting antagonist for the heroes during its seven seasons, David Morrissey’s the Governor (Jon Bernthal’s Shane Walsh, an honest-to-goodness character whose complexity is still missed, was ultimately more of an antihero).
It's pretty obvious the reviewer was not a fan of the show going into the episode which kind of undermines any objectivity. I simply don't understand why anyone that has watched most episodes of a show that from day one has shown graphic dismemberments on a regular basis is all of a sudden turned off because the violence happened to main characters. If you don't like this kind of violence this show was never for you. Quite frankly the only thing this show should ever apologize for is occasional poor writing and acting.
