Carla Meyer San Francisco Chronicle 10/14/2021
2/4
This fish-out-of-water quality alchemizes with Beckinsale's big-screen-size charisma into a highly watchable performance, as "Guilty Party" reveals how much Beth is also out of sorts. Go to Full Review Caroline Framke Variety 10/14/2021
Guilty Party, which swings from black comedy to high-stakes drama without finding its desired sweet spot somewhere in between, just keeps giving in to Beth's worse instincts without giving its audience any real reasons to care. Go to Full Review Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald 10/13/2021
3.5/5
Kate Beckinsale is a woman on a half-baked quest for surly redemption in this intriguing new dark comedy-drama. Go to Full Review Frederick Blichert Android Authority 02/11/2022
Unlike Only Murders in the Building, Guilty Party doesnt seem to have much to say about true crime beyond just using it as a backdrop for comedy and mystery...At the very least, Kate Beckinsale is as good as ever. Go to Full Review Marty Brown Common Sense Media 11/04/2021
3/5
This series leans toward the funny end of the spectrum of the "amateur detective who gets in over their head" premise, but it also tends to use that comedy to cover up the shakier aspects of the writing. Go to Full Review Matt Fowler IGN Movies 10/19/2021
4/10
Guilty Party's opening episode presents us with an unbelievable, uncharismatic lead character who seems out of place and ill-equipped for every room she enters. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

12/12/2021 Every character is a horrible person. By the last half you'll find it almost a challenge to route for any of them. See more 11/14/2021 Love the show, Guilty Party!! It has a very good plot! Kate Beckinsale is wonderful in her roll, the kind of work that she does as a reporter is not supposed to be easy trying to get to the truth! I hope that it gets renewed for a second season!!! See more 11/12/2021 Low ratings of these kind of shows is the reason I don't trust these kind of websites anymore. It's good show See more Phil F @RT09126045 10/21/2021 Quirky, fun. Intriguing, unique premise. Breaking Bad meets Dead to Me. Sets up a lot of questions to keep your interest. Kate Beckinsale is brilliant. She and Jules Latimer have Emmy worthy performances in an extended scene in S01E08: anger, humor, and tears. Dark comedies can be a hit or miss. Guilty Party is a hit! See more 10/21/2021 it is so distracting that Kate's character looks like one of the Wayans brothers in White Chicks when they the female whiteface, even the clothes are similar. i love you Kate, but NO!
