	Author	Review
United States	Kelly Lawler USA Today	"A delicious 'Desperate Housewives' successor (...) The early episodes are charming and fun enough (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Merrill Barr Forbes	"'Why Women Kill' is a lot of things. It’s bright, it’s colorful, it’s humorous, it’s off-beat… but most of all, it’s interesting."	POS
United States	Daniel D'Addario Variety	"An unsatisfying show cobbled together from vignettes whose leaps between storylines leaves good actors stranded."	NEG
United States	Robyn Bahr The Hollywood Reporter	"In the end, it still only feels like a facsimile of the real thing (...) It's actually not fun, but merely quirky."	NEG
United States	Hanh Nguyen IndieWire	"[After two episodes] the series’ arch tone and visual splendor are enough to stick around for the ride."	POS
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"[It] can't settle on a tone (...) [It] can’t be taken seriously enough for drama and isn’t fun enough for camp. Consequently, it’s just kind of 'there'"	NEG
United States	Amanda Bell TV Guide	"What makes 'Why Women Kill' work is the fact that it knows it's likely to get labeled a 'guilty pleasure' and plays into that hand very well (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
