"Huff" is one of the best dramas on TV and easily the best one airing currently on pay cable.
By Adam Buckman FULL REVIEW
60
The language in "Huff" is still graphic and foul. What redeems it, as always, is the artful acting and occasional small scenes of quiet beauty.
By Nancy DeWolf Smith FULL REVIEW
60
Against everything else available to viewers, "Huff" is premium cable-grade content without the "wows" that justify the extra expense.
By Melanie McFarland FULL REVIEW
50
"Huff" got too heavy, and too predictable in its moroseness. Lying on the couch for more seems unnecessarily depressing.
By Tim Goodman FULL REVIEW
50
[It is] a mess of unconvincing drama, and the acting veers from magnificent to quite poor.
By Doug Elfman FULL REVIEW

Despite the storylines' incessant emotional and psychological delvings, the result is an inert if not annoying muddle among unpleasantly profane people whose prospective salvation isn't worth wading toward.
By Diane Werts FULL REVIEW
20
Huff is stubbornly inert, going all over the place tonally while going nowhere emotionally.
