Critic Reviews

Maureen Ryan

The dialogue is witty, the pacing is brisk and there’s some real heart amid all the tokens of the Palm Beach high life. Read full review

Ken Tucker

Garcia is impeccable, and Newbrough and Hale are likably bratty. Funnier would help, but charm is abundant. Read full review

Alan Sepinwall

Tonally, Privileged is an amalgam of the CW's other shows in this genre: more contemporary and (at times) funnier than the new "90210" but not as nihilistic as "Gossip Girl." And Garcia's both charming and a promising light comedienne. Read full review

Verne Gay

Garcia is a major-league cutie and sunny on-screen presence without being cloying. But enough with the filthy-rich-kid dramedies! Read full review

Todd R. Ramlow

While the show doesn’t (yet) expand on its opening diagnosis of the “New Gilded Age,” it just might offer more careful consideration of other possibilities of self-interest. Read full review

Ray Richmond

But aside from Garcia, Archer and Louis (who does a colorful turn as the chef), there's too much sizzle here and too little steak. Read full review

Tom Shales

Just about everything in Privileged has popped up before, and what hasn't popped up before should never be permitted to pop up at all. Read full review
