Jake Coyle Associated Press 05/21/2019
[Battleground] comes off something like a student fantasy of playful politics. [Jay] Hayden expends more energy trying to look suave and knowing than funny. Go to Full Review Brian Lowry Variety 05/21/2019
Battleground sort of looks like a TV show, employing what's become a pretty tired device to obscure its low-key production values. Yet the content and premise, while not bad, simply aren't enough to get me to sit in front of a computer and watch. Go to Full Review Brandon Nowalk AV Club 05/21/2019
The show gets off to a rough start... but slowly the elements start to come together, and like the campaign it depicts, Battleground becomes a scrappy charmer that thrives on underestimation. Go to Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette 05/21/2019
A far cry from past attempts at original, scripted series created for online sites, Battleground plays like a smart, well-written comedy series you might find on a premium cable network -- minus the profanity and nudity. Go to Full Review Brian Barrett io9.com 05/21/2019
3/5
In between bouts of forced dialog and buffoonery is a plot that, two episodes in, keeps you hooked enough that you may well become a regular. Go to Full Review Ed Bark Uncle Barky 05/21/2019
