The Walking Dead: Season 11, Episode 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Alex McLevy AV Club The way this episode simply winds up characters and sets them off on ill-considered missions isn't exactly the most thoughtful treatment of these characters... But it's fleet, and efficient, and it creates some meaningful stakes. Rated: B Aug 23, 2021 Full Review The Walking Dead: Season 11, Episode 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Rich Cross Starburst This assured opening installment shows that there's still plenty of life in the drama of The Walking Dead, as long-simmering conflicts and brand-new antagonisms begin to shape the show's endgame. Rated: 4/5 Sep 7, 2021 Full Review The Walking Dead: Season 11, Episode 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Rob Bricken io9.com It's not a bad episode of TWD, just a very middle-of-the-road one. After 10 seasons of wildly veering over that metaphorical, zombie-filled highway, that's fine with me. Aug 23, 2021 Full Review The Walking Dead: Season 11, Episode 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut Redeeming a TV villain isn't an easy thing to do, especially not for a show like The Walking Dead, which returns for its eleventh and final season in "Acheron: Part I" to make good on its promise of tensions between Maggie and Negan. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 23, 2021 Full Review The Walking Dead: Season 11, Episode 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Sam Moore NME (New Musical Express) With the proper introduction of the Commonwealth, Maggie's lingering face-off with Negan and Daryl and Carol preparing to say goodbye, there's plenty to look forward to. Aug 23, 2021 Full Review The Walking Dead: Season 11, Episode 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Paul Dailly TV Fanatic There is so much potential with the show at this stage, but it's disconcerting how there was still an element of poor writing for some of the storylines. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 23, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
