Tom Gliatto

Sep 17, 2014

Season 1 Review: Red Band Society, which could turn out to be one of the best new shows of the fall, is like that, constantly catching you unexpectedly. Read full review

The Daily Beast Kevin Fallon

Sep 17, 2014

Season 1 Review: Red Band Society is by no means the perfect network drama. (That would be The Good Wife, for those who are keeping count.) But there is something admirable about what it is doing, and about the fact that it has no qualms about it. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Red Band Society, although sometimes sappy, isn't sad or dreary. Read full review

Alessandra Stanley

Sep 16, 2014

Season 1 Review: Red Band Society has a tone that is both sassy and sorrowful, a carefully calculated balance of humor and sentiment. The pilot episode, however, leans too heavily on emotional tugs. Read full review

David Hinckley

Sep 17, 2014

Season 1 Review: The cast works well together. They just have to fight some implausible setups and jarring shifts from clever and poignant to sappy and slapstick. ... Even assuming the show can keep the cast sick enough to be in the hospital, but so not sick it just gets sad, it may be hard to sustain this story over a full season. Read full review

Tom Long

Sep 12, 2014

Season 1 Review: Cliches bounce off one another in a slick combination of gallows humor, inspirational bonding, deep thoughts and maudlin moments. Read full review

Willa Paskin

Sep 16, 2014

Season 1 Review: Red Band is larded with quirk, twee, and pop music, all of which set my teeth on edge even as they sent my tear ducts into spasm. Read full review
