Season 1 Review:
Gripping. ... Wisely, Breed underplays with a quiet intensity, projecting empathy and intelligence in her soft-spoken but firm resolve to be taken seriously. ... I miss Hannibal Lecter, but so far, Clarice is convincing me she's worthy of her own show. [15 - 28 Feb 2021, p.10]

Season 1 Review:
The third episode is easily the best, a very strong hour that takes place almost entirely in a police station as Starling and her team again try to unpack a devious mind with new and varied interrogation techniques, unsure of the motives of the man to whom they’re speaking or even those around him. It’s an indication of how entertaining this show could be on a weekly basis

Season 1 Review:
Aiding Clarice considerably is the performance of Australian actress Rebecca Breeds (Pretty Little Liars) as Starling. Breeds wisely patterns her diffident, even shy, Clarice after that of Jodie Foster in Silence of the Lambs, cloaking her intellectual capacity in bashful humility toward authority that sometimes cracks open to reveal repressed rage.

Season 1 Review:
Somewhere, there’s an R-rated, CBS All Access version of Clarice that would almost certainly be a lot bolder and less constrained by what “works” for the CBS audience that gets this instead. We certainly get small tastes of what could be, especially when Breed’s performance is allowed to just give Starling the floor.

Season 1 Review:
Based on the first three episodes, “Clarice” falls somewhere between “The Silence of the Lambs” and “Red Dragon” in the canon of Thomas Harris adaptations. It doesn’t have the operatic ambition of the NBC series “Hannibal,” but it’s certainly more intriguing than another “CSI” spinoff.
