American Crime wasn't fun, and it wasn't perfect, either, but it was richly rewarding all the same. I won't easily forget it, and I don't want to, either. Go to Full Review Pilot Viruet AV Club Jan 7, 2016

American Crime excels even when -- especially when -- it's dark and hard to watch. Go to Full Review Sonia Saraiya Salon.com Jan 7, 2016
It carries a stronger sense of artful engagement with the viewer, through both direction and tone. Go to Full Review Randy Dankievitch TV Over Mind Feb 11, 2020
2.5/5
It's certainly very heavy, dull material, but its relentless pursuit of examining the rampant social injustices of the modern world has a certainly nobility to it, even if American Crime greatly exaggerates that sense of importance. Go to Full Review Matthew Eng Tribeca Film May 2, 2019
Through its pointed cinematography, fluid editing, and deft manipulations of sound, American Crime achieves visual elegance and sonic engagement like no other network program before it. Go to Full Review Natalia Marcos El Pais (Spain) Jul 12, 2018

Nov 30, 2021 What a waste of potential. Rather than a story about a male rape victim and what it takes to get justice, this season is literally a tribute to the cliche of "He asked for it" and an unrealistic escalation of events to where it literally becomes a punish the victim story line with a slap in the face of gay men for good measure. See more Jun 29, 2019 But i have looked at how Felicity Huffman play all these roles no wonder she was good at it if she was already doing fraud! I hope they do a season on how only certain children are able to go to collage because of who their parents and that there is children that done even have the chance that have to sale their soul to be able to have a good future and some even have to work at jobs they do not want to be able to attend See more Mar 13, 2017 Everything about this.....is brilliant..... Looking forward to season 3 Which started last night on showcase. See more Feb 20, 2017 Very good TV Shows Suspense, acting, directing, writing and montage are excellente, LGBTQ and people are honored See more Dec 5, 2016 Wasn't sure if this was one of the higher 3.5* or lower 4* See more Sep 3, 2016 After seeing Season 2, I am reminded that TV programming can, in the right hands, be relevant, brilliant and ground-breaking.
