Critic Reviews for Boss: Season 1
All Critics (29) | Top Critics (21) | Fresh (23) | Rotten (6)
Boss rarely takes its foot off the accelerator and the filming style, with frequent lingering closeups of eyes or lips, magnifies the intensity.
Boss is electric with self-importance, and that is in itself is a hoot, given its particular combination of thematic pomp and expressionistic pulp.
The script is tight and ambitious, as it attempts to anatomize corruption in the big city.
Boss can be a little over-cooked or even half-baked at times in its depiction of time-honored Windy City corruption. But it's got a great big bite to it, with never a dull moment or badly shot scene.
The Gus Vant Sant-directed pilot of what is easily the most important project in Starz history pulses with the sort of corruption that absolute power sires.
The series quickly progresses to a point where we learn enough about Kane to realize that he's a far cry from the nicest guy in the world.
