Clarice (TV Series)

"'Clarice' is made with curiosity, confidence, and craft, and it comes as a happy surprise to say that it cares more about its protagonist’s mind than anyone else’s insides." 

"There's a big problem here. Everything about 'Clarice' has been done, successfully and terribly and constantly, by a whole generation of CBS procedurals" 

"It's a well-executed procedural that works because it has the good sense to stay out of Clarice Starling's way and let her step into the light (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)" 

"As it stands after three episodes, I can't help but be disappointed, though series star Rebecca Breeds does an impressive job" 

"What keeps 'Clarice' only slightly disappointing instead of infuriating is that Kurtzman, Lumet and Breed really do have a solid grasp on Clarice Starling as a character" 

"As of now, it’s an average crime drama with brushes of fascinating psychological thrills, still finding its rhythm. It doesn’t come close to the highs of 'Silence' or the 'Hannibal' tv series, but it’s nowhere near the worst of the Thomas Harris adaptations (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)" 

"Overly referential to 'The Silence of the Lambs' and painfully deferential to police procedurals, 'Clarice' turns the title character into a callow, common cop."
