Hank Stuever

Feb 22, 2018

Season 1 Review: With each episode, Sud and her writers demonstrate a sharpened skill for pace and revelation, along with gracefully subtle ruminations on corruption, racial profiling and--more profoundly--the very nature of morality. ... Mostly what you’ll feel at the end is exhausted, regarding the clock with some bewilderment: Did I really just lose myself in 10-plus hours of gripping television? Read full review

Season 1 Review: Seven Seconds can be a bit obvious at times--a shot of blood in the snow with the Statue of Liberty seen off in the distance--but ultimately it settles into a worthwhile character-driven crime thriller. Read full review

Matt Zoller Seitz

Feb 22, 2018

Season 1 Review: It’s not the best or the worst of the lot, but at its most intelligent and heartfelt, it generates empathy for its characters, sadness at the culture that shaped them, and anger at the institutions that protect the worst among them. The unaffected emotion in every lead performance saves the bad scenes and elevates the good ones, and the overall spirit of the thing is unimpeachable. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Seconds may not be particularly original, but it’s a solid binge for a chilly night in. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Seven Seconds, which runs for more than 10 hours that seem like 15, follows the grim and grimy Sud playbook without really saying much of anything new. The fault lies not with its stars, most of whom perform very ably or well beyond that. It’s just that sometimes enough is enough. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The series would certainly benefit from some editorial tightening--reducing its number of episodes to five or six would have made it considerably more exciting. As its stands, Seven Seconds is admirably acted, but it’s a slow grind. Read full review

Feb 21, 2018

Season 1 Review: As it plods along, Seven Seconds is often redeemed by superb performances from actors who are constantly called on to make the best of overwritten and not always credible dialogue. Read full review

This is a solid drama that reflects and brings out into the open inner city problems with gangs and crooked cops. Brilliant acting, great cast. Most of the time you are just glued to the screen.

Solid show ten episodes long that, as one critic noted, feels like 15. David Lyons completely disappears in his role of a dirty cop while Regina King was, per standard, excellent as well. The standout however was the newcomer Clare-Hope **** who gave Seven Seconds it's soulful center withSolid show ten episodes long that, as one critic noted, feels like 15. David Lyons completely disappears in his role of a dirty cop while Regina King was, per standard, excellent as well. The standout however was the newcomer Clare-Hope **** who gave Seven Seconds it's soulful center with her great performance as Prosecutor KJ Harper. Outstanding acting, however, could not save the show from, at times, a plodding pace. Overall, though, well worth binging if you are ever snowed in one weekend. Good popcorn fare.… Expand
