United States | New York Post | "'Allegiance' takes a potentially preposterous situation and makes it provocative. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)" | POS |
United States | Entertainment Weekly | "The premise strains credulity, and the setup is convoluted. Yet the spycraft is fun, an affecting cast makes you care." | POS |
United States | The Washington Post | "'Allegiance’s' real mission, like 'The Americans', is to draw us into a believable family crisis and, in that regard, the show’s results are mixed." | NEU |
United States | Variety | "[It is] fast-paced and enjoyable (...) with the disclaimer that the perilous premise can take a left turn from amusingly silly to distractingly ridiculous at any moment." | POS |
United States | The Hollywood Reporter | "'Allegiance' (...) doesn't have the writing or the acting chops to compete with its FX counterpart. The series is, however, entertaining on its own merits." | NEU |
