Well executed episode for the most part that stayed true to some important storyline elements of the comics. They really started to peel apart Negan and show how likable he is.
My criticism is that I do not believe the writers are as good as the Game of Thrones writers in weaving through multiple storylines in multiple locations. I think they're stronger with they stick with one or two stories. The Rick and Aaron adventure seems relevant to them getting supplies, but there was so little of it, it's just forgettable. Cut that out and add it to the finish of the story in the next episode. Same with Michonne. Negan/Carl/Daryl and Rosita/Spencer/Eugene in this episode. Then add the 5 minutes total spent on Rick and Michonne into the next episode with the conclusion of what they're doing.
