Critic Reviews of "When We Rise - Season 1"
Verne Gay NewsdayFebruary 27, 2017Important television, but also wildly, maddeningly uneven TV, too.
Tom Long Detroit NewsFebruary 27, 2017For those under a certain age it's likely to be a well-dramatized history lesson; for those over that age it's a flashback look at modern times.
Nick Allen RogerEbert.comFebruary 27, 2017Only by its own wild choices, like stunt casting and narrative stasis does the series start to lose its way, although the fire for the story it wants to tell is constantly, visibly burning.
Matthew Gilbert Boston GlobeFebruary 23, 2017Given the shortcomings and overreaches of the script, the acting is as good as it can be, with Skeggs standing out as the young Guy and Williams evoking deep alienation effectively.
Ben Travers indieWireFebruary 23, 2017A sprawling story creates an awkward combination of history lessons and personal stories, and broadcast standards prove far too restrictive. The result is a conglomeration of narratives that never reach their full potential.
Mark Dawidziak Cleveland Plain DealerMarch 06, 2017This four-night drama about the gay and lesbian rights movement in the United States is packed with wonderfully nuanced performances and splendidly resonant moments.
Richard Lawson Vanity FairMarch 02, 2017When We Rise admirably illustrates the virtue and necessity of activism, but it doesn't have enough muscle. There's a piousness, a politeness at root in the series that withers in the harsh glare of our political moment.
Dana Villamagna Common Sense MediaFebruary 28, 2017While the excellent acting and compelling storyline in this series will likely draw viewers attention, the often stilted messaging can dull the drama.
Roger CatlinFebruary 27, 2017When We Rise is a high minded and generally recommended history of the gay rights movement, a sincere effort by Dustin Lance Black, screenwriter of Milk to provide history and hope in an eight-hour project.
