	Author	Review
United States	Jeff Jensen Entertainment Weekly	"The performances are good enough to enliven the antihero familiarity."	POS
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"'Animal Kingdom' season 1 honors the film, but lacks the dynamic that made it great."	NEU
United States	Mike Hale The New York Times	"The material has been watered down and jazzed up, and characters have been redrawn to fit the larger-than-life requirements of American cable drama."	NEU
United States	Maureen Ryan Variety	"Though the cast is packed with solid actors clearly eager to play morally shady thieves, the characters are not written with (...) depth and texture."	NEU
United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"Great shows don't have to be this eager and this sloppy and this obvious. TNT will need to make 'Animal Kingdom' improve significantly over the next several episodes if the series wants a shot at survival."	NEU
United States	David Wiegand SFGATE	"Lisco and his writers do a good job weaving a compelling narrative, one that’s filled with action, but more significantly defined by the complexity of the individual characters."	POS
United States	Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe	"This series adaptation of the 2010 movie 'Animal Kingdom' is remarkably confident from the start. The story unfolds naturally, the hand-held camerawork is quite effective, and the acting is aces."	POS
