	Author	Review
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"After watching five of its six hours, I can't tell you whose story 'I Am the Night' thinks it is, nor the mystery it thinks it's unfolding."	NEG
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"[Jenkins and Pine] who helped 'Wonder Woman' stand out from a league of superhero movies brings distinct flavor to this juicy '60s crime drama."	POS
United States	Caroline Framke Variety	"[It tries] to create so many compelling twists and turns that even six episodes feels like barely enough time to explore them all (...) Every once in a while, 'I Am the Night' clicks into a propulsive and exciting gear"	NEU
United States	Jana Monji rogerebert.com	"The first episode of 'I Am the Night' does its job, intriguing you with a lurid situation."	POS
United States	Kelly Lawler USA Today	"What it lacks in momentum it makes up for in atmosphere (...) Occasionally, the dialogue ventures too far into macabre melodrama to be taken seriously (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Darren Franich Entertainment Weekly	"Night isn’t great L.A. Noir — the plot moves at corpse speed — but it’s a vivid TV treat"	POS
United States	Mike Hale The New York Times	"The result is a bland hodgepodge (...) Eisley probably gets more screen time than Pine, but Fauna feels like a secondary character even as the story is channeled through her"	NEU
