Nov 25, 2019 | Full Review… Eric Deggans NPR Top Critic Madiba is must-see television for anyone who questions the limits of human nature in pursuing a cause - in the name of freedom or even in the name of nationalism. Feb 1, 2017 | Rating: A- | Full Review… Hanh Nguyen indieWire Top Critic For all of its lackluster effect as drama, Madiba does have educational value - if you don't know Mandela's story, or the history of apartheid and its fall, there are worse ways to spend six hours than watching this digest of the highlights. Feb 1, 2017 | Full Review… Mike Hale New York Times Top Critic The show's claim of being the definitive Mandela story is a little over the top, but as an introduction to the man, his country and what motivated him, it's not a bad place to start. Feb 1, 2017 | Full Review… Lanre Bakare Guardian Top Critic After this sobering reminder of the bitter suffering he and his countrymen endured, it's a sentiment that's as powerful as it is timely. Feb 1, 2017 | Full Review… Brian Lowry CNN.com Top Critic Mandela's life makes for a huge canvas, and Fishburne fills every inch of it that's included in the script. Feb 1, 2017 | Full Review… David Zurawik Baltimore Sun Watching Madiba will give you chills, given our present circumstances. Feb 1, 2017 | Rating: 8.5/10 | Full Review… Amy Glynn Paste Magazine Powerful, profound series about the life of Nelson Mandela. Mar 8, 2017 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media The six-hour Madiba is TV well worth watching this Black History Month.
