      Zack Sharf indieWire This inaugural test run may have been a failure, but it's certainly not a death wish. All eyes will most likely be on Che as the season continues. Sep 13, 2018 Full Review Verne Gay Newsday It was a good opener, sporadically very good. Sep 29, 2014 Full Review Amos Barshad Grantland Toward the end of "Weekend Update," Pete Davidson, the latest addition to the cast, and the youngest - he's the first SNL'er born in the '90s - showed up. The material was great. Sep 29, 2014 Full Review Chris White Paste Magazine Staring at itself in the bathroom mirror at age 40, SNL definitely looks its age. And though there is nothing wrong with an existential crisis every decade or so, there are warning flags that what got us to this point, may not get us to 50. Rated: 4/10 Oct 6, 2014 Full Review Jason Tabrys Screen Rant The episode was made solid by a few surprises and a few explosive performances. Sep 29, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews
