Season 1 Review: The epic battles over race, gender, drugs, and the Vietnam war are all on display here, without any phony Let It Be soundtrack muffling the shrieks of the wounded. Read full review

Season 1 Review: We'll leave it for the experts to decide how much Aquarius fudges the truth. As drama, it's gripping, disturbing, and rewarding. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Aquarius is a cleverly imagined and handsomely realized tale of an old-school, inherently corrupt police force feeling the rumblings of several social tremors at once. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Aquarius isn’t quite history, but it also isn’t precisely now, or even accurate. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Beyond the rockin’ soundtrack, the flat storytelling has no pop. Read full review

Season 1 Review: By starting the story so long before the deaths of Sharon Tate and Manson's other victims, though.... the next several episodes devote most of their time to the detectives investigating crimes that either tangentially involve Manson or have nothing at all to do with him, but are there to fulfill the Case of the Week structure most network procedural cop shows depend on.

Season 1 Review: A patchwork pastiche of 1960s clichés that tracks the killings of Charles Manson through a hippy-trippy Los Angeles, because all you really want is for Duchovny to be in The X-Files instead. Read full review
