	Author	Review
United States	John Anderson The Wall Street Journal	"A dark show that doesn’t take its darkness seriously enough."	NEG
United States	Daniel D'Addario Variety	"[It] is in its first three episodes a pleasant surprise (...) Certain touches of the series felt excessive (...) But performances carry the day, here"	POS
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"This isn't 1995 and there's too much available TV to tune in regularly for a 42-minute broadcast drama of which I love only five minutes"	NEG
United States	Tony Sokol Den of Geek	"The pilot works as a neat little intro, perhaps a little too neat, and certainly too tidy, to the family and procedural dynamic (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Michael Starr New York Post	"A standard-issue, formulaic drama that never quite kicks into gear"	NEG
United States	Amanda Bell TV Guide	"It's kinda weird how shows about serial killers can feel like a pleasant place of escape sometimes, no?(…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"Prodigal Son" feels a little too incongruous to stick with just in case it finds its rhythm"	NEG
United Kingdom	Lucy Mangan The Guardian	"You’ll have fun. In an insane world, it is the sanest choice (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
