Season 1 Review:
Somewhere in here is a daringly kind and low-key show about the importance of small things and the value of humble decency, which – if it were possible to get such a thing commissioned in the first place – would be better off without the contrived antagonism of a big-city firebrand shaking everyone up. Unfortunately for Hilary Swank, Alaska Daily doesn’t really need her.

Season 1 Review:
In the two episodes sent to critics, neither half is fully developed and the tonal choices in each half work against the merits of the other. It could be fun! It could be important! Instead, it’s clumsy and didactic and yet, in this moment of pathologically low-ambition broadcast dramas, Alaska Daily is at least more interesting and ambitious than the umpteenth Dick Wolf procedural or Monarch.

Season 1 Review:
[Eileen Fitzgerald (Hilary Swank)] is among the more insufferable TV protagonists we’ve had in a while, and not necessarily in a way that Alaska Daily intends. ... The version of Alaska Daily that works best, in part because it’s the one that least involves Eileen: an overextended group of reporters and editors struggling to cover all the important issues affecting America’s physically largest state. ... ABC might be more inclined to be patient with Alaska Daily. But the show would require a fairly significant refocusing for that to be worth anyone’s time.
