Plot-wise, "Say The Word" does have some interesting ideas. Go to Full Review Ted Pigeon Slant Magazine 07/29/2015
Within the scope of the show's accepted limitations, the episode is a measured accomplishment. Its vision of human descent into madness, while not terribly original, resounds in small, palpable doses. Go to Full Review Starlee Kine New York Magazine/Vulture 07/29/2015
