Nov 25, 2013 | Full Review… Neal Justin Minneapolis Star Tribune Top Critic While I don't love Alpha House, I still like it; mostly because of the easy chemistry between Goodman and his co-stars. Nov 25, 2013 | Full Review… Eric Deggans NPR Top Critic Plenty of partisan shenanigans to satirize, like Veep, but, unlike Veep, nothing addictive about it. Nov 18, 2013 | Full Review… Joanne Ostrow Denver Post Top Critic The writing is smart, the characters are amusing, the cameos are entertaining, and the political commentary is as pointed as you might suspect. Nov 15, 2013 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review… Gail Pennington St. Louis Post-Dispatch Top Critic Alpha House may be Amazon's first original program, but it doesn't feel all that original. Nov 15, 2013 | Full Review… Willa Paskin Slate Top Critic Ultimately, it's too hard to see if the series is going for satire, farce or character-driven humor. Alpha House could have benefited from some beta testing. Nov 14, 2013 | Full Review… Tom Conroy Media Life Top Critic An interesting look at how to rise in the Republican party. [Full Review in Spanish] Jul 16, 2018 | Full Review… Ricardo De Querol El Pais (Spain) Writing and acting are the strengths of Alpha House, with Trudeau's keen satiric sensibility brought to life through engaging performances from a veteran cast led by Goodman and Johnson. Nov 21, 2013 | Full Review… David Zurawik Baltimore Sun Political comedy is fresh, funny, but full of iffy content. Nov 21, 2013 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media Amazon's first original series, the political comedy Alpha House, is a hair more fascinating than C-Span.
