The series opener of The Walking Dead's fourth year is undoubtedly slow, but like the groaning corpses that litter its landscapes, it catches up to you and leaves you terrified before the end Go to Full Review Richard Rys New York Magazine/Vulture 06/16/2015
4/5
This episode showcased the show's strengths - suspense, humor, humanity, and, of course, a good old-fashioned undead splatterfest. Go to Full Review Ted Pigeon Slant Magazine 06/16/2015
The episode's underlying questions and thematic concerns, along with quieter rhythms, subtle imagery, and narrative crescendo, are not only a welcome change, but potentially also a preview of a better future for The Walking Dead. Go to Full Review Randy Dankievitch Processed Media 02/14/2020

When The Walking Dead steps aside from constant zombie spectacle and goofy exposition... it can still mange to find moments of true humanity in its script, something "30 Days" smartly takes a few scenes to do. Go to Full Review Tom Fitzgerald and Lorenzo Marquez Tom & Lorenzo 06/18/2018
This isn't a zombie story anymore. This isn't even a post-apocalyptic story. Go to Full Review Kevin Fitzpatrick ScreenCrush 06/12/2018
All in all "30 Days Without An Accident" makes for an effective premiere with plenty of strong action and character beats to prime us for the season to come, though lacking a bit in any real surprises. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
