More Show More Episodes Critic Reviews for American Odyssey Season 1 All Critics (28) | Top Critics (16) | Fresh (15) | Rotten (13) To be blunt, the bar is higher to clear than it was ten or certainly twenty years ago, when a show like American Odyssey would have felt like something new. Mar 31, 2015 | Full Review… Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Top Critic Overpacked story in the opener, but American Odyssey is still very ambitious and very different. Apr 2, 2015 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… Verne Gay Newsday Top Critic American Odyssey has pulling power, if you'll give it a fair shot. Fair warning, through: it also has some telegraphed developments and a few rather preposterous ones. You'll likely know them when you see them. Apr 2, 2015 | Rating: B- | Full Review… Ed Bark Uncle Barky Top Critic The problem is, there are three tales embedded in its framework, which includes familiar elements - the tension of 24 and the intrigue of Homeland - that add up to something less than the sum of its parts. Apr 6, 2015 | Full Review… Sarah Rodman Boston Globe Top Critic Judged by a lower standard, the series is an average broadcast action drama. Apr 2, 2015 | Full Review… Tom Conroy Media Life Top Critic It was like someone had cut up broadsheet newspapers from recent years and glued bits randomly to the script, making the whole thing lack cohesion. Homeland it certainly isn't. Jun 29, 2015 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review… Michael Hogan Daily Telegraph (UK) Top Critic In a TV landscape filled with muddled motivations, NBC's American Odyssey feels -- at least, at its start -- like a saga that's easy to root for. Dec 7, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… Allison Keene Collider Conspiracy theorists will love American Odyssey, and everyone else should, too. Apr 7, 2015 | Full Review… Rob Lowman Los Angeles Daily News A tough-minded melodrama that's uneven but never less than intelligent, American Odyssey keeps its best subplot front and center. Apr 6, 2015 | Full Review… Ken Tucker Yahoo! TV NBC's American Odyssey is packed with military secrets, corporate espionage and political drama, but the show's real draw is star Anna Friel. Apr 6, 2015 | Rating: 7.3/10 | Full Review… Max Nicholson IGN Movies View All Critic Reviews (28) Audience Reviews for American Odyssey: Season 1 ½ Initially skeptical but American Odyssey turns out to be a worthy journey of 3 different people entangled in a conspiracy. Anna Friel is an amazing actress. However the middle of this season was rather tedious, I am not sure if I'd watch season 2 but the show has potential.
