I have seen filler episodes of Walking Dead. I wouldn't quite classify this as filler, just as I wouldn't classify "The Grove" as filler. It furthers the plot, develops the characters, and has a good chunk of action at the end. It was a little slow paced, but there wasn't too much that could have been actually cut. Sped up, sure, but not cut.
The performances are good, although I don't like the direction they're taking Carol. Actually, I don't so much mind the direction so much as the speed. I see what they're going for, but as it is it comes out of nowhere and doesn't make as much sense as the writers would like to think.
There's also the "We're all Negan" moment. I really hope they're just doing a version of "I'm Spartacus", and not actually changing the nature of The Walking Dead's best character. I did really like the climactic action sequence. It was a solid little gory classic Walking Dead style thing.
Overall, I thought the episode was just okay. It had problems, but it was solid.
