Soraya Nadia McDonald Andscape 09/26/2017
[Patina] Miller's decision to portray Charlotte Jenkins as a confident and assertive woman underscores just what a fount of inspiration Jacobs likely was to other free and contraband black people who shared her experiences. Go to Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette 01/20/2017
Mercy Street remains strictly middlebrow fare, but it's well-done for what it is and better than in its first season. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

George M. @Georgeorge Nov 8 Well written and acted. See more 02/13/2017 Woefully overacted. Terribly cliched story lines. Obvious characters - if a character is not a cookie-cutter archetype, it is a transparent and predictable attempt to depart from an archetype. The extras are dismally unbelievable. The battlefields lack scale. Absolutely unwatchable by anyone but lovers of romance novels and unbearable melodrama. On the plus side, the props and attire seem to be pretty authentic.
