Critic Reviews

Linda Stasi

Feb 19, 2013

Season 1 Review: This series-in-a-series is an innovative and creative way to make TV, which I love. What would I have loved even more? A scripted series about a scary, charismatic cult leader. Read full review

Zap2it (Inside the Box) Laurel Brown

Feb 19, 2013

Season 1 Review: It takes awhile to get into the investigation launched by Jeff and Skye. At the same time, the fictional "Cult" TV show seems more compelling than the real Cult TV show we're watching. Read full review

Tom Long

Feb 15, 2013

Season 1 Review: You get the feeling creator Rockne S. O'Bannon is building a puzzle box to nowhere here, but Knepper's malevolent glare sets a nice, unhinged tone, and there's certainly plenty of room to move forward. Read full review

David Wiegand

Feb 19, 2013

Season 1 Review: Beyond the gimmick, will there be enough to maintain our interest? If not, Cult could easily wind up as one TV show in search of an audience. Read full review

Willa Paskin

Feb 19, 2013

Season 1 Review: The show has got a ponderous B-movie quality, everything so serious and simultaneously so silly. Read full review

Gail Pennington

Feb 19, 2013

Season 1 Review: Knepper is wonderfully creepy. But that's the last of the good news. From Rockne S. O'Bannon, Cult is too complicated for its own good, and not satisfying enough to make it worth figuring out. Read full review

David Hinckley

Feb 19, 2013

Season 1 Review: Some scenes play like those stiff “re-creations” in crime reality shows and the camera’s constant quick-cuts promote headaches, not intrigue. Read full review
