	Author	Review
United States	Jeff Jensen Entertainment Weekly	"It’s a blend of political satire and semi-campy horror--a darkly comic zombie yarn, a cheeky 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers'. And if the whole season is like the pilot, it might actually be fun."	POS
United States	Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe	"It’s an ambitious, almost indescribable series that has fun while feeding into American rage over our government’s partisan mania."	POS
United States	Joanne Ostrow Denver Post	"The subtlety that made ['The Good Wife'] work is not in evidence here. Nor does this hour demonstrate the sophisticated humor of 'Veep', a better parody that doesn’t need a zombie-like subplot."	NEU
United States	David Wiegand SFGATE	"The cast’s good work is fatally underminded by the show’s fuzzy concept."	NEG
United States	James Poniewozik The New York Times	"'BrainDead' is a fun summer experiment, with a loopy (...) charm. It’s sci-fi, it’s comedy, it’s political commentary. But it’s also about as nuanced as an ant colony lodged in your cranium."	NEU
United States	Maureen Ryan Variety	"'BrainDead' is more sprightly and appealing than 'Zoo' and certainly easier to follow than whatever 'Under the Dome' ended up being. But 'BrainDead' is highly evasive and unsatisfying on the political front."	NEU
