	Author	Review
United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"A wholly impressive new drama that comes out of the gate with gravitas, swagger, originality and intrigue"	POS
United States	David Wiegand SFGATE	"When you have a story as thoroughly involving as this one, evoking both 'King Lear' and 'Citizen Kane', and when the performances are this good, 'Boss' almost directs itself"	POS
United States	Mary McNamara Los Angeles Times	"It's a solid enough formula, and if the writers have overly epic ambitions, they also have a collective eye for detail"	POS
United States	Linda Stasi New York Post	"Lots of the characterizations work wonderfully, and the acting is fantastic (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Robert Bianco USA Today	"Some of the intrigue is cleverly done, but none of it connects to characters we care about (...) Rasting: ★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	James Poniewozik Time	"Its early episodes are a mix of power and disappointment"	NEU
United States	Matt Roush TV Guide	"This is an easier show to admire than it is to recommend"	NEU
United States	Alessandra Stanley The New York Times	"A smart look at political power brokers that gets silly on the subjects of sex and violence"	NEU
