	Author	Review
United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"Based on the ambition alone, it’s probably worth sticking with 'Copper' to see where it goes, though it’s a little slow out of the box"	NEU
United States	Mike Hale The New York Times	"The show looks good, offers a painless history lesson (...) [But it’s missing] energy, irreverence, a sense of humor and, crucially, consistently good performances."	NEU
United States	David Wiegand SFGATE	"[It] works not only because it mines elements of classic storytelling but also because of elaborately colorful dialogue (...) compelling performances (...) richly detailed art direction and well-paced overall direction"	POS
United States	Kari Croop Common Sense Media	"[Its] intriguing historical premise injects some much-needed originality into a genre that's littered with uninspired spin-offs (...) 'Copper' ultimately falls short of must-see status though"	NEU
United States	James Poniewozik Time	"[After two episodes] 'Copper' so far feels flat and undistinguished (...) Still, the show has enough raw ingredients, enough potential in its ideas, and a strong enough creative team"	NEU
