	Media	Author	Review
		Brian Lowry Variety	"It all speaks to a level of ambition that has become increasingly rare in the broadcast spectrum (...) For those with the patience to invest in it, missing out on 'American Crime' would indeed be criminal."
		Joanne Ostrow Denver Post	"[John] Ridley, the creator-writer-producer, has delivered a 10-episode series that is provocative not just in terms of clever scriptwriting but in what it asks of the viewer."
		Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"John Ridley's provocative ABC drama gains confidence in its second season, which grapples with sexual violence, economic disparity and the educational system in Middle America."
		Tirdad Derakhshani Philadelphia Inquirer	"'American Crime' returns with an equally powerful, compelling, and intelligent story."
		Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"There’s something almost revolutionary about the complex and utterly human teenagers that Ridley has conceived (...) This season will get right under the skin of parents who worry too much (or not enough) about their kids."
		Matt Roush TV Guide	"Powerful new season."
		Robert Bianco USA Today	"The desire to examine issues that commercial television generally avoids, and the ability to do so in a manner that is intellectually challenging and dramatically satisfying, remains the same. None of this could be achieved without the stellar returning members of this now-anthology’s cast. (...) Rting: ★★★★ (out of four)"
