Critic Reviews

Screen Rant Ana Dumaraog

Mar 13, 2026

Its debut run takes full advantage of everyone's chemistry with each other, not just by focusing on them individually, but by mixing and matching players depending on what the story needs. At the end of season 1, everyone has had a meaningful or fun exchange with everyone, which makes the Clyburns feel more fleshed out as a unit. Read full review

Collider Aidan Kelley

It's slow, patient, and methodical, and it's very easy to see how viewers could prematurely slap "boring" on as a defining trait. However, this slow-burn pace is exactly what keeps The Madison an engaging watch. Read full review

It’s marvellously escapist stuff. Read full review

Daniel Fienberg

As it stands, I have no idea whether a second season will do away with the New York City stuff and become the show I’m actually curious to keep watching, or if it will continue to be one of the most whiplash-y shows I can remember. Read full review

The Travers Take Peter Travers

Michelle Pfeiffer enters the Taylor Sheridan universe in stellar form even when he sinks her in a Montana vs Manhattan grudge match that’ll bore you breathless. Read full review

The Guardian Sarah Dempster

Mar 16, 2026

It’s an altogether milder kettle of trout. It is, in essence, a Saga cruise in a Stetson; a languid meditation on retirement stuffed with cloying aphorisms and thuddingly simplistic depictions of grief. Read full review

The Playlist Marshall Shaffer

Mar 13, 2026

Her [Michelle Pfeiffer as Stacy Clyburn] incandescent rage provides the only source of illumination in this tired parade of anti-elitist tropes straight out of a Fox News opinion show. The performance is good enough to make one wish Sheridan had any idea how to write material worthy of the actress. Read full review
