Critics' reviews

"'Manh(a)ttan' provides a cleverly imagined portrait of the men and women who were at the epicenter of that peculiar sovereignty."

Alessandra Stanley: The New York Times
"'Manhattan' kicks off with two gripping episodes that highlight a strong cast."

Tim Goodman: The Hollywood Reporter
"'Manhattan' brings legitimate class to WGN's nascent original content project."

David Wiegand: SFGATE
"'Manhattan' certainly isn’t a bomb creatively speaking (...) As admirable as some of its elements are, what’s missing in the opening hours is the elusive spark necessary to make them genuinely pop."

Brian Lowry: Variety
"A beautifully executed 1940s period drama about the men and women involved in the top-secret Manhattan Project is at once transporting and provocative."

Joanne Ostrow: Denver Post
