Although it's too soon to tell exactly where The Company You Keep will end up by the end of its freshman season, this new series has already positioned itself to steal audiences' hearts with its dynamic cast, fun plot, and swoony romance.
-
“The Company You Keep” has a strong start and the elements of a successful show: stellar chemistry between its leading stars, a set-up ripe for plenty of adventure, downright festive weekly cons, and a beautiful cast that knows how to act.
-
Ventimiglia and Kim do have remarkable on screen chemistry. ... I’m curious enough about this fairly ambitious network television drama to keep the show company and find out.
-
“The Company You Keep” isn’t trying to break new ground. But it achieves its purpose as escapist Sunday night fare.
-
"Company" seems familiar enough to draw you in, but it's not a knockoff of all the other shows you've seen before. The series may have just the right mix of romantic, sultry drama and thrilling capers to go the distance.
-
Likable.
-
The conflict between obligations to loved ones and the desire to get out of the game creates tension and interest in the show’s first two episodes, as does genuine chemistry with co-star Catherine Haena Kim. ... The knots in Charlie’s stories are the stuff of pulp novels or — just as good — lightly pleasurable serial TV.
-
The Company You Keep eschews this opportunity for tension or real sparks in favor of a straightforward good-versus-evil tale and easy likeability. As a crime show that ardently refuses to get its hands dirty, it can’t help but come off as a one-dimensional photocopy of better films and TV shows.

Mar 24, 2023I can't get enough of this cast's dynamic. I love heist plots, so the added spookiness of the CIA element makes it so durn goood!!!
