Noam Cohen Observer Oct 7, 2015
Even the B and C plots this week were horrible to watch. Go to Full Review Steve Macfarlane Slant Magazine Oct 7, 2015
It's so gripping, in fact, that when Captain August Robertson (Grainger Hines) and the Knick's administrator, Herman Barrow (Jeremy Bobb) bail Thackery out, it feels almost disingenuously comforting. Go to Full Review Brandon Nowalk AV Club Oct 7, 2015

"The Golden Lotus" is no lugubrious slog through perfectly ironic misery like other cable dramas. For one thing it's funny, and in ways that I can't quite capture with transcription because the jokes are so character-based. Go to Full Review Kevin Yeoman Screen Rant Oct 8, 2015
It's a striking look that's not particularly pleasing, but it is fascinating to see Owen's lip curl underneath that mustache of his, while his eyes are seemingly busy penetrating the wall just beyond the audience's field of vision. Go to Full Review Robert Ham Paste Magazine Oct 7, 2015
8.7/10
There's no telling where the show is going to lead us as it heads towards its season finale next week. There's little chance of a big happy ending to send us all off smiling into the fall and winter. Go to Full Review Matt Fowler IGN Oct 7, 2015
8.8/10
Despite the show feeling like a procession of foreseeable tragedies sometimes, this was still an excellent penultimate season episode. An episode that worked to take Thackery down a peg in everyone's eyes, except Lucy. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
