	Author	Review
United States	Daniel D'Addario Variety	"It’s told with a gentle curiosity that probes and nudges its characters methodically (...) It’s a promising beginning"	POS
United States	Robyn Bahr The Hollywood Reporter	"[The first episode is] poignant but flavorless (...) The original series, as fascinatingly gossipy as it was, always felt inorganic (...) a trend that continues in the new version."	NEU
United States	Jude Dry IndieWire	"[This] continuation feels like a warm embrace from an old friend (...) It’s this wide variety of perspectives assembled that allows the series to be as ambitious as it is."	POS
United States	Kathryn VanArendonk Vulture	"There are a handful of scenes where the writing, acting, and gutsiness of the underlying story cohere into something raw and striking and well made. In other moments, though, 'Tales of the City' feels like a rough draft, both bloated and aimless"	NEU
United States	Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone	"The parts that work outweigh the parts that don’t (...) The performances and the optimistic (and very Maupin) spirit buoyed me through the whole thing (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Chitra Ramaswamy The Guardian	"It’s still a pleasure to have it back (...) We need 'Tales of the City' as much, if not more, than ever (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
