Season 1 Review:
The most interesting characters by far are Ami Park’s Yuna Park, Meredith Holzman’s Claire Muncy, and Grace Dove’s Roz Friendly. Yuna is an eager young journalist who learns all-too-quickly that reporting the truth means consequences for the people she covers, whether or not they deserve it. ... [Claire] writes a manifesto in the second episode about the state of the world today that is not at all preachy but is very, very sad and pragmatic.

Season 1 Review:
This is the rare, modern network drama to balance mass appeal with semi-progressive ideology. Led by an absorbing performance from Swank (who shocked the world this week with the announcement that she is pregnant with twins at age 48), Alaska Daily is the most intriguing new show on network television.

Season 1 Review:
It may be a low bar, but if we’re watching a network series where we don’t roll our eyes or throw up our hands at what we’re seeing on the screen, there’s a good chance that we’ll want to see more of it. And Alaska Daily had enough to like to make us want to see more.

Season 1 Review:
Had it been made as an HBO miniseries, to which the subject would easily lend itself, it would be a different thing entirely, somber and atmospheric and cinematic. As a network series, it is something broader, more immediate, less subtle. TV not as cinema but as television, an Arctic Circle “Lou Grant.” Gestures are bigger, speeches are speechier, the workplace quirkier.

Season 1 Review:
[Eileen Fitzgerald (Hilary Swank)] is among the more insufferable TV protagonists we’ve had in a while, and not necessarily in a way that Alaska Daily intends. ... The version of Alaska Daily that works best, in part because it’s the one that least involves Eileen: an overextended group of reporters and editors struggling to cover all the important issues affecting America’s physically largest state. ... ABC might be more inclined to be patient with Alaska Daily. But the show would require a fairly significant refocusing for that to be worth anyone’s time.

This is the best damn show to come to television is awhile. Acting is spot on, all play their part well. Hillary is awesome. I do love this show. It keeps me coming back for more. Am looking forward to much more.
