Ryan McGee Rolling Stone For her part, Waller-Bridge didn't overpower the cast so much as simply blend in with the ensemble. As someone who possesses a titanic amount of energy and charisma , this was definitely a choice versus an inability to rise to the occasion. Oct 7, 2019 Full Review Jordan Hoffman Vanity Fair The presence of Waller-Bridge, author of the year's Emmy-certified best comedy, only served to highlight the material that wasn't up to her level. Oct 7, 2019 Full Review LaToya Ferguson IndieWire Waller-Bridge showed off her talent for wringing humor from the unlikeliest of places, as she does during a hilarious tangent about genitals, setting a high bar for the rest of the episode to clear, which it does. Rated: A- Oct 7, 2019 Full Review Ethan Anderton Slashfilm This episode was an improvement over the average season premiere... SNL might really be on the verge of hitting a new groove. Oct 7, 2019 Full Review Larry Getlen Decider After last week's laugh-free debacle of a season opener, Saturday Night Live began hitting its stride this week with several sketches that featured genuine laughs and even took some chances. Oct 6, 2019 Full Review Ryan Schwartz TV Line Waller-Bridge did a fine job as host (and was especially charming during her opening monologue), but she wasn't given much of a showcase.,, Perhaps most notable is that it was another strong week for Bowen Yang Oct 6, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
