	Media	Author	Review
		Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"Some of the character are so impressively conceived and fleshed out that they ignite the material."
		David Wiegand SFGATE	"With grit, guts and some of the best performances you’ll see on TV this year, 'American Crime' aims for truth and pulls no punches getting there."
		Alessandra Stanley The New York Times	"This is an ABC drama that is not just good, it's startlingly good (...) “American Crime” is a depressing story told so skillfully that it’s almost impossible not to be happy to see it unfold."
		Robert Bianco USA Today	"This is America as we seldom see it -- presented in a way we've never seen. (...) A triumph for John Ridley, and a reconfirmation that Felicity Huffman is one of the best actors we have. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"
		Joanne Ostrow Denver Post	"The characters interact, the camera observes. And we marvel--not only at the technique and the acting, but at the fullness of each individual point of view, detailing who these people are and how they got there."
		Mary McNamara Los Angeles Times	"With its frank examination of race, gender and class , "American Crime" is the more thematically provocative show, a gratifying breakthrough for television"
		Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"I can't remember the last time a network drama had my rapt attention and respect on this many levels at once (...) I'm dying to know where Ridley and his actors will take the story next"
		David Hinckley New York Daily News	"If you're looking for prime-time broadcast TV drama with something substantial on its mind, try 'American Crime' (...)It’s just a strong story told by a strong cast. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"
		Matt Roush TV Guide	"'American Crime' unfolds its troubling and gripping story over a broad urban canvas of racial disharmony, class animosity and familial dysfunction."
		Brian Lowry Variety	“American Crime” compels the audience to think by finding sympathy for its key players, seeking shades of gray beyond media labels like “criminal” and “victim.”
