United States	David Wiegand SFGATE	"'Parade's End' is a television masterpiece"	POS
United States	Sara Vilkomerson Entertainment Weekly	"You'll be pining for more once it's over"	POS
United States	Tom Long Detroit News	"The disconnect between propriety and reality keeps the miniseries on constant edge. The entire cast is fine, but Hall steals the show"	POS
United States	Alessandra Stanley The New York Times	"The series is not easy to follow or instantly love, but it is impossible to dismiss"	POS
United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"Stoppard's storytelling structure has an odd rhythm to it, and White's direction can be both majestically beautiful and transitionally jarring. But combined, their choices allow 'Parade's End' to achieve an exquisiteness"	POS
United States	James Poniewozik Time	"This miniseries doesn’t tell you how to feel, and it’s not exactly bursting with charming, loveable characters. But there’s a poignance to its story of people realizing their orderly parade is breaking up all around them"	NEU
United States	Robert Bianco USA Today	"Beyond doubt, great talents and noble ambitions are at play here, but somewhere in the process, those talents seem to have confused 'good' with 'dull' and 'serious' with 'tedious' (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEU
United States	Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"Snail-paced and difficult to relate to, 'Parade’s End' feels twice as long as its total running time. And yet it’s an exquisite and thoughtful sort of slog, with sound British pedigree and bone structure"	NEU
