Critic Reviews

Season 1 Review:
American politics is so preoccupied with the participants as characters and partisans. Comey doubles down on that unfortunate tendency. ... You could argue that, as a drama, Comey’s chief purpose is to entertain rather than inform. But by that metric, its dull think-piece monologues, expository dialogue and long scenes of people in suits arguing in boardrooms are even less successful.

Season 1 Review:
The movie bends and strains to accommodate Comey’s showy displays of duty and righteousness. ... Gleeson is at once the best and worst thing about “The Comey Rule,” uncannily evoking the president’s aura of menace and doing so while pushing his performance past a bizarre sheath of makeup that misses the mark. ... This series fails to find anything provocative or narratively rich in Comey’s dismissal from government. ... Self-satisfied, inert.

Season 1 Review:
It posits that Comey is an imperfect but decent man who did what he thought was right and whose biggest flaw is an outsized ego. ... But the show fails to adequately contextualize Comey's mistakes, which are institutional rather than just personal. It's a failure as an attempt to clarify recent history, made worse by a series of artless creative choices.
