New York Daily NewsDavid HinckleyMar 30, 2015
Season 1 Review: The Dovekeepers is well-produced television, polishing a long-ago tragedy into a smooth story. That may or may not be the same thing as accurate history. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Flavius Josephus’ position in The Dovekeepers would perhaps be even more egregious if any of the other characters were fully drawn, but they aren’t. Read full review

Season 1 Review: We’ve spent so much time on mundane love affairs, the nature of the resistance remains an enigma. The Dovekeepers spins history until everyone seems a bit dizzy. Read full review
