David Bianculli New York Daily News 06/24/2019
On "The Monroes," the most they can muster is a dusty sex-and-spy scandal, a flash of male skin to rival "NYPD Blue," a few dangerous liaisons and a flatulent dog. Even I wouldn't dismiss this series as that last phrase, but exciting it's not. Go to Full Review Tom Shales Washington Post 06/24/2019
Maybe some of the stuff in "The Monroes" is torn from the headlines, but it's been torn sloppily and haphazardly, and the headlines were probably a lot more fun as they were. Go to Full Review Brian Lowry Variety 06/24/2019
The series itself has moments but isn't particularly compelling beyond William Devane and Susan Sullivan as the family patriarch and matriarch. Go to Full Review Tom Jicha South Florida Sun-Sentinel 06/24/2019
If you're not a Kennedy, The Monroes is scrumptious serial drama. Go to Full Review David Hiltbrand People Magazine 06/24/2019
B-
Clearly this is meant to capitalize on the public's continuing fascination with the Kennedy clan. But the soapy, overheated antics suggest The Carringtons on the Chesapeake rather than Camelot. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
