Season 1 Ratings & Reviews
New York Times
James Poniewozik
It's a compelling premise, though the show still needs to flesh out the kids as characters... But early on, the strongest aspect of the show is how it commits to an agonizing situation that is easy for unaffected people to simply look away from.
Salon.com
Melanie McFarland
This new Party of Five matters more and contains a vital relevance that the previous version never did.
USA Today
Kelly Lawler
There is potential for "Party" to deepen and grow in subsequent episodes, but the series might not have enough material to sustain itself. "Party" might have a reason to exist, but it needs a reason to keep going, too.
The New Yorker
Doreen St. Felix
It won't go viral, but Party of Five has heart.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
The concept is considerably better than the execution in Party of Five, but that idea -- breathing urgency and relevance into a reboot of the 1994 Fox series -- counts for quite a lot.
Variety
Caroline Framke
The show's micro focus and deeply personal touches are, ultimately, what keep the show afloat and free of details that might have otherwise mired it in lofty philosophizing about the dire state of the world today.
Paste Magazine
Amy Amatangelo
These are small quibbles that are to be expected as the series lays its foundation. Right now I'm just happy to have the Party continue.
The Hollywood Reporter
Daniel Fienberg
The series could stand to be more consistent in how the parents are depicted after the pilot... but I like the variation on the dynamic in which there's a gaping hole in the family's life, without a loss of hope.
AV Club
Danette Chavez
There's a greater focus on teen angst and rites of passage in Party Of Five than overt social commentary, which can feel more groundbreaking and political than its real-life allusions.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Jen Chaney
The underlying message of this lovely series enables the audience to hold nostalgia and a bracing sense of reality in their heads and hearts all at once, and that's a rare and special thing.
NPR
Eric Deggans
The stories can be predictable, and the family too often comes off as perpetual victims... At a time when the immigration debate still involves kids kept in cages, there is no better moment for America to see a series like this.
Slate
Willa Paskin
The new version of Party of Five... is a timely reinterpretation of the original, a remix with meaning.
The Spool
Megan Sunday
Each episode builds out this family and their world a little more, and they're a family worth visiting.
Washington Post
Hank Stuever
Creators Amy Lippman and Christopher Keyser have put great thought and empathy into telling the Acosta family's story in all the ways that it would naturally differ from the Salinger days.
Mashable
Tricia Crimmins
Party of Five's power expresses itself both in theory and in practice. To dramatize deportation in the current political climate is gutsy.
Just Add Color
Monique Jones
While it entertains, the series calls on those who feel the Acostas' pain to stand up for other real life families like the Acostas.
Common Sense Media
Joyce Slaton
Worthy Latinx reboot of '90s classic has drinking, sex.
Newsday
Verne Gay
The rare reboot with a purpose - and a heart.
TIME Magazine
Judy Berman
Because characters sometimes sound like mouthpieces, the addition of some standard teen melodrama can make for slightly ponderous scripts. Yet the show ultimately appeals to our empathy more than our political allegiances
Decider
Joel Keller
If you liked the Salingers, you'll like the Acostas.
