Miniseries Reviews
Collider
Liz Shannon Miller
Uzo Aduba is such a strong actress that it's a thrill to see her tear into a role like one-time Presidential candidate Shirley Chisholm.
The New Republic
Lidija Haas
The show's scope is ambitious...the painful nostalgia is for a moment when American feminists, however imperfectly, were attempting to build diverse coalitions, when they fought to gain power and to make real change at the same time.
The Atlantic
Sophie Gilbert
Mrs. America is maybe the first great television series of 2020, a project that manages to capture the complicated essence of real characters while telling a story at both micro and macro levels.
NPR
Linda Holmes
Something seems amiss, separate from the filmmaking, separate from the artistry. Maybe it's just that it can be hard to separate Mrs. America's utter bleakness from its quality.
Vox
Emily St. James
Even without Blanchett playing her, Schlafly's blithe willingness to bear anything and come up with a quippy one-liner afterward makes for an inherently compelling character, as well as a herald of incoming President Ronald Reagan himself.
TIME Magazine
Judy Berman
A rare degree of moral, political and philosophical complexity differentiates Mrs. America-which depicts the struggle between second-wave feminists and conservative gadfly Phyllis Schlafly...
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Thanks to the first-rate makeup, hair and wardrobe team, in most cases the actors strike a remarkable physical resemblance to their real-life counterparts; even more impressive is how they capture the essence of these social warriors.
Los Angeles Times
Lorraine Ali
Blanchett is transformative and chilling here as the perfectly composed picture of domesticity and traditional values, a pied piper in coral lipstick who pitted red- and blue-state women against each other.
Bitch Media
Andi Zeisler
Mrs. America doesn't aim to be a conclusive survey of how feminism won or lost. Instead, it's a timely acknowledgment that women's political convictions and actions are always assessed through societal lenses that put them at the periphery.
BuzzFeed News
Alessa Dominguez
In reimagining the conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly as a prestige-TV antihero, the new FX series Mrs. America overlooks some uncomfortable realities.
New York Times
James Poniewozik
"Mrs. America" hardly sees Schlafly as its heroine, but it respects her cunning and force of will. Blanchett gives her a Katharine Hepburn clipped-syllables charm - like Blanchett's Galadriel in "The Lord of the Rings," she is regal and terrifying.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Matt Zoller Seitz
It lets us watch eccentric, fascinating characters bounce off each other as they try to figure out what populist buttons to push to inspire voters and legislators to produce the results they and their supporters desire.
Mashable
Angie Han
What Mrs. America understands about female ambition that peppy slogans about girl bosses and leaning in so frequently miss is that ambition does not become simpler or less objectionable simply because it's female.
Slate
Willa Paskin
Mrs. America has zip to spare, bounding along on a '70s soundtrack, limning complex history, ideas, alliances, and personal dynamics with assuredness, tact, and insight.
Autostraddle
Heather Hogan
But what makes Mrs. America great isn't just its no-pulled-punches accuracy, or its award-winning performances... but its commitment to being just really good television.
New Yorker
Doreen St. Felix
The most recognizable faces of the feminist movement have always been white, and "Mrs. America" prides itself on reminding us why without ever quite redressing the balance.
The Ringer
Alison Herman
Dahvi Waller's series revisits the women's lib movement of the 1970s-and delivers one of the best new shows of 2020...
AV Club
Sulagna Misra
Only Cate Blanchett could sell the little faces Phyllis makes when no one's looking-what she won't say and can't say. Her performance isn't exactly eliciting sympathy; it's just a masterwork in letting you read her mind without missing a beat.
Salon.com
Melanie McFarland
Blanchett, Byrne, and Aduba -- the stars of the first three episodes, respectively -- personify the three reasons "Mrs. America" is well worth watching.
Washington Post
Hank Stuever
"Mrs. America" brings plenty of that, especially in the second half of the series, but who can resist such a consistent malevolence? It's as if all nine Star Wars movies really had been about Darth Vader, instead of just being ostensibly so.
