Season 1 Reviews
SSG Syndicate
Susan Granger
Take a bit of 'Downton Abbey,' a touch of 'The Gilded Age' and a whiff of 'Bridgerton' and you'll come up with this costume drama about wealthy young American women crossing the Atlantic to find titled - if impoverished - British husbands.
Autostraddle
Drew Gregory
The show fails to capture Wharton's voice and, more disastrously, fails to find a voice of its own.
The Atlantic
Sophie Gilbert
It's actually a fascinating experiment: What happens if a series has the trappings of prestige television, but neither the ability nor the intention to write like it?
Looper.com
Audrey Fox
There's promise here, with a likable cast, an open-ended storyline that the writers can do whatever they like with, and plenty of charm on display. As of now, it's a middling period offering, albeit one that has a lot of potential.
Variety
Aramide Tinubu
Despite its frenzied pacing, The Buccaneers is endearing. The ladies' colorful skin-forward costumes, pink poodles and loud giggles contrast against the deafening silence of British polite society.
Chicago Tribune
Nina Metz
The series calms down as it goes, growing in storytelling confidence and laying off its inner "Gossip Girl," and the production design is first-rate, from a garden maze made out of hedges to scenes at a massive country estate during Christmas.
Boston Globe
Matthew Gilbert
Their bonds, as each of them figures out her own identity, are warm and important to them, and they are loud and often gleeful together. That's a refreshing element, and it's a solid foundation for the series.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
Consumed entirely on its terms, The Buccaneers works reasonably well as a soapy distraction for those willing to check their brains at the ballroom door.
Pop Culture Planet
Kristen Maldonado
The Buccaneers has a lot of potential, but loses its way when it moved away from the sisterhood to focus on inflated drama and whiplash romances that just aren't fun.
Pajiba
Chris Revelle
If you like a bit of fun with your history or even just love CW soap opera candy, I really can't suggest The Buccaneers strongly enough.
TIME Magazine
Judy Berman
Enough to satisfy its target audience and should keep anyone else with a passing interest in the subject matter and nothing better to watch reasonably entertained. I'm not terribly disappointed, but I do hope we'll see some more ambitious adaptations...
Slate
Rebecca Onion
I watched all eight episodes of the series in a white heat, and I am ready for more.
Hollywood Reporter
Angie Han
Anyone with a taste for historical romance is likely to be at least a little charmed from the start.
What She Said
Anne Brodie
Partnering modern clear-eyed youngsters with a romanticised past world is a thing now - are we fed up with our own times? I'm just waiting some someone in a bustle to call someone woke. It entertains kids who may be tiring of the Now.
Culturess
Lindsay Press
The Buccaneers is a fun enough show, and trying it may offer the chance to enjoy something new.
Wall Street Journal
John Anderson
If The Buccaneers is what it takes to keep Edith Wharton in circulation among a new generation of readers, it may be worth the price. On the downside, people will think The Buccaneers has something to do with Edith Wharton.
TIME Magazine
Cady Lang
A high-spirited adventure through the world of 1870s London high society...
AV Club
Kayleigh Dray
The characters are endearing, the story never drags, and, despite the tropes, it often chooses to zag where we might expect it to zig.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Lloyd
Taken on its own terms and not as an adaptation,"The Buccaneers" is a well-turned object, pretty to look at and evidently expensive.
Rolling Stone
Kalia Richardson
Ultimately, it's a feminist manifesto for girls eager to find love and adventure, free of the restraints of traditional society.
