Critic Reviews of "The Hour - Season 1"
SlateJanuary 17, 2019A totally OK hourlong drama... The Hour comes billed as "an edge-of-your-seat spy thriller," which isn't right. It's cozier and slower and airier than that, more of an arm-of-your-sofa spy thriller.
The AtlanticJanuary 17, 2019The Hour is alternately ferocious and tender, and refreshingly clear-eyed about the interactions between gender and class.
New York Daily NewsAugust 17, 2011If you're a fan of high-quality, deliberately paced period drama, you need to check out The Hour.
Boston GlobeAugust 17, 2011It offers amusement and a tad of suspense, but little to ponder over the long run.
Uncle BarkyAugust 17, 2011Viewers craving a satisfying gourmet meal rather than another summertime "reality" Moon Pie are urged to make The Hour a Wednesday night ritual for the next six weeks.
Digital SpyJanuary 17, 2019Strangely, it is the day-to-day newsroom politics that is currently proving enthralling on The Hour rather than the conspiracy and unsolved murders lurking in the background.
7M PicturesJanuary 17, 2019Instead of just offering a soap opera for 50s nostalgics, The Hour gives us an interesting balance between relationships and danger. The conspiracy angle is ever-present, but it's not overpowering.
Common Sense MediaJanuary 17, 2019Spot-on period details and glamorous styling... It does many things exceptionally well, delivering complex characters, a well-paced story, and, of course, the aforementioned art direction.
PopMattersAugust 17, 2011The series' inclination to melodrama sometimes overshadows its historical context.
Den of GeekJanuary 17, 2019Ben Whishaw is great as bitter, passionate hack Freddie, as is Romola Garai as Bel, an ambitious woman seemingly decades ahead of her own time. Both are upstaged, however, by the towering presence of Dominic West.
The Arts DeskJanuary 17, 2019What it did well it did very well... But my, how it longed to be Important Television -- and whatever else it was, it wasn't quite that.
