Critics' reviews

"In setting, tone, and several fine and evocative performances, 'City of Angels' cements itself as a fine entrant in the horror-on-TV genre."

Daniel D'Addario: Variety
"Atmospheric and wonderfully acted, but lacks the scares and operatic depth of the original."

Daniel Fienberg: The Hollywood Reporter
[It] tells a cohesive, well-plotted and multilayered story (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"

Tony Sokol: Den of Geek
"A powerful ensemble buckles under a packed narrative"

Kristen Lopez: IndieWire
"The blood, the noise, the music, and the expanse of the horizon all seem like they've been dialed up to 11 (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"

Kelly Connolly: TV Guide
"[It] shows many sides of Natalie Dormer, but veers off the map (...) An excellent, well-meaning concept that doesn't quite live up to the grandeur of its intent."

Melanie McFarland: Salon
"I do plan on watching the rest of the season. Not because I’m in any way invested in the storyline or characters now. No, it’s simply because I hope it will pick up and get better. It certainly has the amazing cast to do this!(…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"

Karina Adelgaard: Heaven of Horror
"The bold and disparate strands of this series (...) are individually compelling, but the show strains under the weight of its own webbing (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"

Adrian Horton: The Guardian
