Aramide Tinubu Variety 2d
Though sprawling and highly detailed, “The Gray House” becomes so clunky and overrun with extraneous characters and narratives that the women at its center nearly get lost in the chaos. Go to Full Review Robert Levin Newsday 2d
1.5/4
A great historical story gets wasted in this endurance test for viewers. Go to Full Review Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times 5d
“The Gray House” isn’t all bad, and its intentions are good, but it’s dramatically predictable and at eight episodes, some over an hour, goes on much, much longer than it needs to. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 2d
The Gray House is surprisingly engaging for such a sprawling historical drama, aided mostly by a good mix of characters and a strong lead performance by Daisy Head. Go to Full Review Kyle Mullin Under the Radar 6d
4/10
Duller than an old butter knife (musket duels notwithstanding). Sadly, turning point history comes off wishy-washy on The Gray House. Go to Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Tribune-Review 6d
Dialogue hammers home arguments that sound more like something from a middle school textbook than how humans might speak. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Christina K 11h I’m in shock and I had to come back here and make another comment about this horrible show. This young black maid is treated like crap by the rest of the help and was graped, gets pregnant, goes into labor, and the baby is still born. The baby is in the doctor’s arms and he hands it to the white head of the staff with a miserable look on her face and she just drops it into the garbage. What kind of show shows something like this. This is absolutely horrific and then they show somebody being hung, but they didn’t do it correctly the first time and so they had to redo it. I had to watch that after they threw the baby in the garbage.. if there were someone, I could call to report this too I would.DON’T WATCH THIS GARBAGE’ See more Doug H @Dougals 23h We didn't even make it past episode 1. The acting is dreadful, with laughably exaggerated phony southern accents that we needed captions to understand. Or maybe it was the script that was laughable. Either way, a total misfire. See more Sammy H 1d Absolutely amazing, I really enjoyed it thoroughly. See more Charles M. @ameryx 3d Ahistorical. Opens, allegedly, on July 4, 1860, then goes on to talk about Lincoln as President of the Untied States, which he wasn't until March of 1861. And Jefferson Davis as head of the Confederacy, which didn't come into being until after Lincoln was inaugurated. How can I trust the rest of it to be a "true story"? See more Kelly K. @Kkinder896 3d Already winning with Kevin plus Morgan involved. I loved that looking from the African American perspective but still keeping realistic things like killings of them still keep it in the minds of everyone. The soundtrack surprised me pleasantly. Everyone expects period music but a present feel along with today's music drives home for everyone to enjoy this series. See more Sandie D @Sdennis1950 4d Even Mary Louise Parker couldn't help this series move along above a plodding pace. The plot and timeline was confusing at times and bordered on boredom. What a shame. See more Read all reviews
