	Author	Review
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	It strides the line between comfortable and bold with enough confidence to become charismatic (...) 'Public Morals' is as much an homage to past hits as a new take for today"	POS
United States	Verne Gay Newsday	Morals is raw, interesting, intelligent, sometimes funny (sometimes not), violent (but not overly violent) and unlike anything on TV at the moment.	POS
United States	Mary McNamara Los Angeles Times	"A picaresque, briskly written and quickly captivating series that is neither afraid nor ashamed of entertaining its audience"	POS
United States	Keith Uhlich The Hollywood Reporter	"[Ed Burns is] not trying to reinvent the wheel, just trying to tell a good, gripping yarn in ten episodes. Based on the first four installments (all of which he helmed and authored), Burns has done pretty well"	POS
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"'Public Morals' doesn’t yet feel like a top-tier cable drama, but it has the makings of a highly watchable one, and stands a cut above much of TNT’s lineup in terms of ambition"	POS
United States	Mike Hale The New York Times	"A mess (...) It’s an even stronger argument than the second season of 'True Detective' against the auteur impulse in television"	NEG
