Critic Reviews

Rob Owen

Sep 12, 2012

Essentially a prime-time soap, Bomb Girls is a well-plotted, smartly written soap that doesn't shy away from, shocking, even gruesome, plot turns in showing the dangers of working in a bomb-making factory. Read full review

Bomb Girls isn't a fancy show. It's just a whole bunch of good stories. Read full review

Mike Hale

Sep 12, 2012

The strained '40s-speak starts to recede in the third episode (four were sent to critics), and, not coincidentally, the performances begin to improve--what looked like community theater acting in the pilot suddenly seems more natural. Read full review

Uncle Barky Ed Bark

Sep 12, 2012

Unfortunately, Bomb Girls is affixed with an oft-overwrought and at times just plain clunky script. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Matt Roush

Sep 12, 2012

A trite and drab melodrama about women on the WWII homefront who go to work on the dangerous front lines of a munitions factory, assembling bombs that aren't nearly as lethal as the corny dialogue and the comically stilted performances. Read full review
