	Author	Review
United States	Daniel D'Addario Variety	"The show’s flicks at sci-fi, after all, are compelling and fun, if underbaked (...) 'The First' feels, at least, like something new"	NEU
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"Hulu’s elegant Mars drama is an inspiring epic made with heartbreaking honesty"	POS
United States	Kristen Baldwin Entertainment Weekly	"The disparate parts of the story have potential (...) The threads, however, never fully entwine"	NEU
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"This trek spends more time on Earth than in the stars"	NEU
United States	Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone	"The whole series is emotionally monochrome, but it at least makes sense when we’re in Tom and Denise’s orbit (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Adam Chitwood Collider	"Another sad man drama with not enough space (...) A failed mission (…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"	NEG
