	Author	Review
United States	David Wiegand SFGATE	"The plot is filled with what might be considered melodramatic cliches (...) But a funny thing happens after the first episode or two: 'Underground' (...) loses its melodramatic patina. That’s almost entirely because of the performances."	POS
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"Even if 'Underground' isn't fun (...) [it] is both exhilarating and entertaining, taking a history lesson and making it something more contemporary, taking a painful chapter in American life and infusing it with populist genres."	POS
United States	Daniel D'Addario Time	"'Underground' rises to the challenge with urgent storytelling and a heavy dose of contemporary edge."	POS
United States	Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"Thrilling and occasionally provocative."	POS
United States	Jon Caramanica The New York Times	"Another well-made show from the underappreciated network WGN America, is at its best when it’s hardest to watch."	POS
