Critic Reviews

Melissa Maerz

Oct 11, 2013

Season 1 Review: It's Pretty Little Liars meets Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette, and it's good, frothy fun. [18 Oct 2013, p.59] Read full review

Tom Gliatto

Oct 11, 2013

Season 1 Review: This is all good, capering, costume-ball fun, even if Mary's life was dismal. My chief complaint is that pretty Adelaide Kane, as Mary, lacks any spirit or presence. [21 Oct 2013, p.50]

Vicki Hyman

Feb 13, 2014

Season 1 Review: It is all very campy and salacious (the young ladies are quite overcome after witnessing a bedding, although the resulting masturbation scene was trimmed from the pilot shown to the press), and historical accuracy takes a backseat to hair product and a driving contemporary soundtrack. But the show seems to be a bit aware of its own absurdity, which is more than one can say for some of the dreck the networks have served up so far this season. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Once you get past the utter silliness of the idea, Reign is kind of a kick. Read full review

Season 1 Review: History fans will scoff at this rendition of a famous story and the target audience won’t give a royal tweet about it. Read full review

Sarah Rodman

Oct 17, 2013

Season 1 Review: With its grand castle backdrop and sumptuous costumes, Reign looks beautiful, as do all of the people in it. But there needs to be something a little more substantial--be it drama or kitsch--between those walls and seams to make Reign into a show worthy of ascending to the heights of guilty pleasure TV royalty.

Season 1 Review: What The CW is doing here (and Kane perpetuates with her take on teenage girls and their intelligence) is approaching television with the perspective that the target audience is profoundly idiotic. Read full review
