	Media	Author	Review
		Brian Lowry Variety	"'Ascension' initially mixes genuinely clever twists with what amounts to a semi-claustrophobic soap opera.... Yet as the mythology mounts, some of the parallel plots become considerably less interesting."
		Jeff Jensen Entertainment Weekly	"Everything intriguing is nearly squandered by poor casting and clunky scripting. Still, I suspect the first night's climactic reveal, while clumsily foreshadowed, will make you return for the second."
		Neil Genzlinger The New York Times	"The opening installment is sharp over all but has squishy spots; that makes you wonder if the premise and the execution are up to the challenge of a series run."
		Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times	"I like what I've seen, though there are more than a couple of moments where the only possible reaction is 'Naaah'."
		Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"'Ascension' has tons of potential and meets a little more than half of it in this early going."
