	Media	Author	Review
		Kristen Baldwin Entertainment Weekly	"'Accused' offers well-cast, engrossing mini-mysteries with twists viewers (mostly) won't see coming. In the Dark Ages of broadcast TV, that qualifies as a glimmer of light"
		Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"Before it reaches and surpasses the boiling point though, 'Accused' packs one hell of a punch (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"'Accused' would seem to have all the ingredients of a solid and long-running hit (...) but (...) this is a grim and almost robotically formulaic effort (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
		Daniel D'Addario Variety	"It’s heartening to see a show that acknowledges that often well-intentioned and good-hearted people find themselves in legal trouble for reasons not their own fault"
		Cristina Escobar rogerebert.com	"The crimes, however terrible, do not tantalate or cause fright. They do disturb, but 'Accused' does nothing with the discomfort it causes, making the whole exercise feel cheap and tawdry. What a waste"
		Max Gao AV Club	"A fresh courtroom drama (...) The new anthology series excels at portraying people in marginalized communities, thanks to its diverse array of actors and directors"
		Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter	"Despite a fresh concept, Fox’s anthology crime drama falls flat"
		Joel Keller Decider	"Because 'Accused' manages to tell the story of how the accused in each episode finds themselves in that position, and does so without a lot of gaps, makes the series worth a look."
		Lorraine Ali Los Angeles Times	"'Accused' sets out to tell all its characters’ stories with the sort of detail they deserve, but ultimately it falls short."
		Matt Roush TV Guide	"'Accused' Is guilty of ambitious storytelling (...) 'Accused' asks to be judged on its emotional impact, which more often than not is considerable."
		Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe	"While I keep waiting for 'Accused' to improve, I have been consistently disappointed. An hour is not enough time to set up and look into some of the complex issues the writers are addressing"
		Brian Lowry CNN	"The intricate and often surprising nature of the twists help separate it from standard crime procedurals, while providing the satisfaction of a self-contained story and resolution within each hour"
		John Anderson The Wall Street Journal	"'Accused' may be out to provoke, but it scores more hits than misses. And its sins of indulgence are ultimately well-intended"
