The Walking Dead - S7 • E1 Ratings & Reviews
Hollywood Reporter
Dan Fienberg
This episode was torture porn (and Totinos commercials) followed by grief porn, but I'm not going to lie and say it wasn't effective.
NPR
Eric Deggans
The show's creative team has not lost its taste for jerking fans of the TV show around and it remains committed to refining and retuning the biggest moments from the book, without jettisoning them completely.
New York Times
Jeremy Egner
The writers deserve credit for somehow infusing some surprise into a death that was one of the well-known signature events of the comics.
Variety
Andrew Wallenstein
But as gratuitous as so many found the violence to be in this episode, what should be apparent to any true TWD fan was that it was quite the opposite: a clearly, carefully considered creative choice that made perfect sense in the context of this series.
Wall Street Journal
Paul Vigna
Honestly, we didn't think it was possible for this show to shock us, but this did. Tonight's episode may have set a new mark for gore on television.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
Nevertheless, its most admirable qualities have increasingly been overshadowed by its more distasteful ones -- not merely in demonstrating just how brutal humanity can be, but by toying with its audience.

Richard Rys
I've had a night to sleep on it and still can't shake that image.
New York Daily News
Joe Dziemianowicz
Being beaten over the head by big bad Negan just felt like lousy storytelling. Showing less could have actually been more suspenseful.
New York Daily News
Nicole Lyn Pesce
Lincoln warned us this episode would be gut-wrenching.
Newsday
Verne Gay
If this is what a hit TV series is about -- the slaughter of the sacrificial lamb on occasion to draw us in, to watch, to gape, to write reviews -- then maybe we should ask ourselves why we are watching.
indieWire
Jeff Stone
It was miserable, and tedious, and made me feel bad. Not in an emotionally compelling way, just in a "I could be watching something of value" way.
Observer
Noam Cohen
Yeah, so that was as brutal and wrenching an hour of television as we're ever likely to see. And it had to be. Because the point of this season 7 premiere was to show Rick-and by extension us-that nothing is ever going to be the same now.
TheWrap
Joe Otterson
The redeeming quality of this additional build up? Jeffrey Dean Morgan really getting to sink his teeth into the role of Negan. The devil himself could not be as charming and sadistic at the same time as Morgan does in his scenes in the episode.
USA Today
Kelly Lawler
For this recapper, it was a hard episode to get through, with the violence verging on nauseating while the plot dithered and attempted to manipulate fans into caring.
Guardian
Stuart Jeffries
This was, to put it mildly, uncomfortable viewing: 45-plus minutes of torture porn mingled with something even more unpalatable... this wasn't so much entertainment as psychic evisceration for us.
Independent (UK)
Jacob Stolworthy
This premiere episode has lived up to the frenzied expectation in only the way this show knows how; by showcasing its most traumatic events yet.
Rolling Stone
Noel Murray
As with last spring's finale, this premiere works well as a nail-biting piece of action-horror, with several masterfully staged sequences.
Daily Telegraph (UK)
Rebecca Hawkes
Viewers had to wait until the end of the first ad break to find out who the victims were. While this helped build a sense of dread, after months of waiting, it also arguably felt like one tense, teasing step too far.
Entertainment Weekly
Nick Romano
Yes, the ultimate reveal was unsettling, but those who read the comics up to this point were prepared.
AV Club
Zack Handlen
The show is so stupid that it thinks we're stupid, prays we're stupid; cross its fingers and hopes like hell that its legion of loyal, obsessive followers will rend their garments at the horrible death of a fan favorite, but still be back next week.
