    "I'll Fly Away" makes it easy for us, relegating racism to a time and region that we can confront comfortably, steeping ourselves in self-righteousness as the series steeps itself in self-importance. ... Waterston and especially Harper give performances in these early episodes that bode well for whatever future "I'll Fly Away" has in its perilous time slot. But by the time the premiere has ended and Waterston gives his final pensive pause, you'll be the one wanting to fly away.

    In any season, I'll Fly Away would stand out for its sensitive writing and acting. [7 Oct 1991]

    Sam Waterston is terrific -- and rises above the melodrama. [28 Oct 1991]
