	Author	Review
United States	Phil Gallo Variety	"Dutton’s direction and the writing from David Mills and David Simon (...) perfectly match the subject matter."	POS
United Kingdom	Steve Busfield The Guardian	"'The Wire' but grimmer"	POS
United States	Ken Tucker Entertainment Weekly	"Six hours of raucous laughter, bone-rattling suspense, and god-awful tragedy (...) a marvel of craft"	POS
United States	Howard Rosenberg Los Angeles Times	"An absence of dramatic flourishes and cheap sentiment makes 'The Corner' all the more stunning."	POS
United States	James Poniewozik Time	"This six-hour mini-series gets away with it because it's adapted from a true story; because Charles S. Dutton directs it with grace; because T.K. Carter and Khandi Alexander are revelations..."	POS
United States	Caryn James The New York Times	"Mr. Dutton is better at eliciting deep performances than at involving viewers in his story"	NEU
