First Time Again Ratings & Reviews
TV Over Mind
Randy Dankievitch
"First Time Again" acts more as a checklist for what's going on, rather than a meaty 90-minute episode with a purpose.
Business Insider
Kirsten Acuna
The episode's unique style is brilliant for the episode's first half, but once viewers figure out what exactly is going on, the allure starts to fade after the 30-minute mark.
ScreenCrush
Kevin Fitzpatrick
It's an exceptionally intense opener, strong support that The Walking Dead has more bite than ever...
The Age (Australia)
Karl Quinn
Carter the unstoppable squawking machine might be a pain, but he's right.
Digital Spy
Morgan Jeffery
Nowhere near as explosive as last year's premiere. More considered, more thoughtful, it employs action only in fits and starts... the show's other hallmarks - exquisite tension, scintillating performances - are very much present and correct.
Variety
Laura Prudom
It's the characters that keep me coming back, not the experimentation with non-linear narratives and the never-ending quest to make every set-piece bigger and gorier and more cliffhanger-y than the last.
CinemaBlend
Nick Venable
"First Time Again," feels like... a series premiere for a series that figured out everything The Walking Dead does best and put it into the pilot. And maybe I'm infected with something, but I think this was the best episode we've gotten yet.
SFX Magazine
Will Salmon
The opening 15 minutes of "First Time Again" are an instant reminder of everything that's great about The Walking Dead these days.
SciFiNow
Steve Wright
Well, whatever accusations get levelled against The Walking Dead this season, the Season 6 opener has certainly ensured that 'boring' won't be one of them.
The Young Folks
Aaron Neuwirth
As a result [of the B&W flashbacks], we get an episode that is as watchable as The Walking Dead ever is, but with the thought of narrative ambition.
Wall Street Journal
Paul Vigna
"First Time Again," was given an expansive hour and a half to tell its story... It wasn't as explosive as the season five premiere... but it still packed an awful lot of brawn and brains - both literal and figurative - into the extra time.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Richard Rys
With the Ricktatorship back in full effect, the season-six premiere picked up right where the explosive season-five finale left off.
Screen Rant
Kevin Yeoman
"First Time Again" is an example of everything you want in a season premiere of The Walking Dead. It is a big, splashy affair that touches on the interpersonal conflicts as much as it does the bigger picture stuff.
HitFix
Alan Sepinwall
Coming back from a six-month layoff with an episode featuring more zombies than the show's ever featured before felt right, and entertaining.
indieWire
Jeff Stone
A good deal of the episode is given watching the plan unfold, and it's all suitably tense and exciting.
Guardian
Brian Moylan
The Walking Dead is excellent at season premieres and this ending proves why.
Entertainment Weekly
Jonathon Dornbush
Man plans, and God laughs. But I never thought his laugh would sound like a foghorn.
Independent (UK)
Alex Straker
Robert Kirkman's zombie epic opens its sixth season with a bang, a 90-minute thrill ride of tension and carnage that throws its fans back into the troubled lives of the residents of Alexandria.
AV Club
Zack Handlen
The premiere never lags completely, and the main problem -- taking care of the herd of walkers trapped in the quarry -- is a solid, and interesting, one.
New York Times
Jeremy Egner
Unlike in the real world, with its terrifying but hazily defined foes, the danger in The Walking Dead is always clear and present, and it wants to eat you.
