	Author	Review
United States	Robert Rorke New York Post	"Fast-paced and trenchant, 'Shots Fired' is a cynical snapshot of the American justice system in freefall. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Maureen Ryan Variety	"A worthy and excellent new series that works as both a television drama and an interlocking array of engagements with some of the most thorny issues of our time."	POS
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"'Shots Fired' plays too much as predictable plot delivery system that sometimes steamrolls over its bigger ideas. Still, in its passion and in several performances, there is much to admire here."	NEU
United States	David Wiegand SFGATE	"It does get better after the bloviating pilot, but if it wants to be on the same level as ABC’s 'American Crime', it needs better writing to match the quality of the performances."	NEU
United States	Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times	"While 'Shots Fired' lumbers as an issue drama, it's diverting enough as a cop show."	POS
