Megan Garber The Atlantic 09/18/2019
The Bachelor has found something that might well be as compelling, good-TV-wise, as villainy: forgiveness. The Bachelor has always relied on fairy tale frames for its narrative drama; now, it will be Nick [Viall]... Go to Full Review Caitlin PenzeyMoog AV Club 09/18/2019
I have to wonder if The Bachelor's heart is in it. Not The Bachelor, but the show itself. Go to Full Review Seth Kelley Variety 09/18/2019
The real fun begins when Nick [Viall] shows us how self-aware he is. He mumbles, he doesn't make eye contact, he touches his face a lot and he's very long-winded. What a catch!. Go to Full Review Sarah Hearon TV Fanatic 09/18/2019
4.5/5.0
It's so interesting to see flashbacks of Nick from his days on The Bachelorette because he is so much better looking now. He earned his right to post shirtless selfies. Go to Full Review Brandy Zadrozny The Daily Beast 09/18/2019
If an accomplished, suitably-aged woman of color can believe in Nick [Viall] , maybe we can, too. Go to Full Review Alexis Rhiannon Decider 09/18/2019

10/22/2017 I didn't like Nick before but he has really grown on me and now he is one of my favorite bachelor's so far. I could not stand that Corinne on his season she was so annoying and rude to the other girls. I always thought it was sad that he always was the runner up on his two season of the Bachelorette. I hope he finds love in the future. See more Read all reviews
