	Author	Review
United States	Caroline Framke Variety	"[It] takes on too much with too little nuance (...) It’s impressive how 'Impeachment' manages to make a true story feel this artificial."	NEG
United States	Brian Lowry CNN	"[An] engrossing, undeniably juicy limited series (...) Sarah Paulson's portrayal of Linda Tripp steals the show, but there's no shortage of remarkable work in a production that deserves an Emmy for its prosthetic makeup alone."	POS
United States	Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter	"It struggles to locate a larger point worthy of the time it takes to convey it. For a star-studded drama about an explosive historical moment, 'Impeachment' feels oddly static."	NEG
United States	Kristen Baldwin Entertainment Weekly	"It's a gripping and challenging retelling of a presidential scandal — and our nation's moral failure."	POS
United States	Judy Berman Time	"The only character 'Impeachment' really seems interested in humanizing is Monica, which isn’t so surprising given that Lewinsky (...) is one of its executive producers"	NEU
United States	Liz Shannon Miller Collider	"The quality of the production is in line with past 'American Crime Story' seasons (...) A great deal of 'Impeachment' proves to be truly engrossing"	POS
United States	Dominic Patten Deadline	"[It] misses the target more than it hits the bull’s eye (...) 'Impeachment' has much to be lauded for on the page and much to be laughed at on the screen"	NEU
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"Fine performances and an overdue reconsideration of Monica Lewinsky's role can't make up for a futile retelling of one very public affair."	NEG
United States	Chris Evangelista SlashFilm	"It's mighty impressive that a story where we already know the end can remain so addictive"	POS
Canada	Alex Maidy JoBlo	"[It] feels unnecessary despite some truly solid casting. There are moments here that made me sit up and take notice, but overall this series doesn’t do nearly enough to make it stand out."	NEU
United States	Tara Bennett IGN	"By giving the women at the center of this story the narrative voice, it reframes the scandal with a fresh perspective"	POS
United States	Whitney Friedlander Paste Magazine	"I don't have to like 'Impeachment: American Crime Story' to agree with its message"	NEU
United States	Peter Travers ABC News	"Gossipy, gripping, cunning, cruel, harshly hilarious and shockingly heartbreaking —sometimes all at the same time (...) [It] calls out the rampant sexism that women are still battling. That's why this story needs to be told now"	POS
