Season 1 Review: Kudos to Fox for attempting something this ambitious and, more often than not, riveting and even heartbreaking at times. [30 Jan - 12 Feb 2023, p.8] Read full review

Season 1 Review: Over the first five episodes that were presented to critics for review, the show largely lives up to its billing as a promising freshman series, telling a diverse array of stories that illustrate the blurring divide between guilt and innocence in today’s world. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Accused offers well-cast, engrossing mini-mysteries with twists viewers (mostly) won't see coming. In the Dark Ages of broadcast TV, that qualifies as a glimmer of light. Read full review

Season 1 Review: It's broadcast television for those looking for something deeper than broadcast television, and cable television for those who don't have the attention span. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Even though “Accused” moves from city to city and case to case each week, and there are different directors behind the camera, there’s a certain sameness to the visual tones; the series has the competent but not particularly stylish look of a crime procedural from the 1990s.

Season 1 Review: “Accused” sets out to tell all its characters’ stories with the sort of detail they deserve, but ultimately it falls short. Though crime and punishment is the overarching theme, human intricacy is the true victim here. Read full review

Season 1 Review: In the short time on hand, the series can’t escape its courtroom framing and so its protagonists end up more as numbers on a case file than complex individuals. And the crimes in each episode, however terrible, do not create intrigue or cause fright. They do disturb, but “Accused” does nothing with the discomfort it causes, making the whole exercise feel cheap and tawdry. What a waste. Read full review

Really bad, and even more unforgiveable because the British show it is based on is very good and the two executive producers are the guys who did HOMELAND. That just makes the tripe, and utterly predictable garbage all the more unbearable. Almost every single episode is a social justiceReally bad, and even more unforgiveable because the British show it is based on is very good and the two executive producers are the guys who did HOMELAND. That just makes the tripe, and utterly predictable garbage all the more unbearable. Almost every single episode is a social justice screed, in the worst possible way; whether it's for gay people, people with disabilities, racial minorities.
Episode 10 is such an obvious rip=off the Charlottlesville, Virginia murder, yet spun backwards.
This is really rip off TV at its worst.… Expand

This is melodramatic garbage. Especially the deaf episode. Only deaf people seem to want to remain disabled. You never hear blind people refusing an operation/treatment that would restore their sight. It's ridiculous and this show would have you believe that parents who want to do whateverThis is melodramatic garbage. Especially the deaf episode. Only deaf people seem to want to remain disabled. You never hear blind people refusing an operation/treatment that would restore their sight. It's ridiculous and this show would have you believe that parents who want to do whatever they can for their child, including surgery so they could hear, are abusive. That a deaf lady kidnapping their infant child is a hero. Ironic that if the parents said their kid was trans and someone kidnapped them claiming it was child abuse to put an infant on hormones, people would applaud the parents.… Expand
