	Media	Author	Review
		Mary McNamara Los Angeles Times	"'The Event' seems prepared to make its characters as complex as its storyline, always an event worth attending"
		Brian Lowry Variety	"NBC's stab at a big, serialized 'Lost'-like premise gets off to an enticing start, though (...) the ability to provide forward momentum--and satisfying answers--tends to quickly separate the few genuine events from the canceled afterthoughts"
		Linda Stasi New York Post	"Is this a Guantanamo allegory or is it just more freaking aliens who look human but really have insect heads under their masks? I'd like to sum it all up for you here, but, like 'Lost', this is a series that is going to take some time to figure out (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"
		Robert Bianco USA Today	"'The Event' knows the game it's playing and its risks. You can tell from the wink-at-the-audience last line, delivered by (...) Innes: 'I haven't told you everything'. Tell us more--and soon would probably be best. Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"
		Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"'The Event' is an intentional mess, daring you to go wherever it thinks it's going. Within the first five minutes, potential viewers will have to make their own personal choice: Am I up for this?"
