Bex Schwartz Rolling Stone Jul 27, 2015
This season already feels so much better, because there are so many zombies and so much goop and gore and disgusting zombie-goo. Bring it the frak on, Glen Mazzara. I believe in you. Go to Full Review Starlee Kine New York Magazine/Vulture Jul 27, 2015
What impressed me the most about this episode is that it's clear that Glenn Mazzara and his writing staff have been paying attention to their audience. Go to Full Review Ted Pigeon Slant Magazine Jul 27, 2015
The Walking Dead's season-three premiere suggests that the program's showrunner, Glen Mazzara, and writing team have listened to everyone's gripes about season two's frequent and labored pontificating. Go to Full Review Randy Dankievitch Processed Media Feb 21, 2020
