	Author	Review
United States	Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"The lavish NatGeo treatment works a lot better than it did on the channel’s adaptations of O’Reilly’s earlier books, 'Killing Lincoln' and 'Killing Kennedy'."	POS
United States	Neil Genzlinger The New York Times	"The story has been adapted for screens large and small so often at this point that any new effort has to make clear why it needed to be made and what it’s bringing to the task that we haven’t seen before. This one never does."	NEG
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"The production lends a straightforward quality to the story, and takes its name seriously, squarely focusing on the circumstances and scheming that surround Christ’s death."	POS
United States	Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe	"'Killing Jesus' is a shallow telling of the Jesus story, with no more distinction than you might find in the generic reenactments of some historical documentary."	NEG
United States	David Hinckley New York Daily News	"It succeeds reasonably well (...) distilling the story of Jesus’ life into a tale of political and theological intrigue that could fit comfortably into a contemporary TV procedural. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	POS
