	Media	Author	Review
		David Wiegand SFGATE	"The series’ exploration of the nature of a family, the personal demons of its members and how trauma can trigger continuing tragedy make 'The Family' a worthy addition."
		Brian Lowry Variety	"Distinguished by a top-flight cast, including Joan Allen and Andrew McCarthy, this soap is a slow but reasonably compelling burn, with abundant possibilities wrapped in its opening hours."
		Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"Poorly written and completely ridiculous."
		Neil Genzlinger The New York Times	"This show is guilty-pleasure fare, but, at least after two episodes, it holds interest rather well, and it has only just begun to open all those closets where family secrets hide."
		Robert Bianco USA Today	"Despite a fine cast (...) underneath 'Family’s' 'prestige drama' exterior beats the pulp-trash heart that animates 'Scandal' (...) What it lacks is the style, speed and self-knowing silliness that keeps 'Scandal' afloat. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"
