Season 1 Review: The results strain so hard to be objective and evenhanded that they're useless as drama. [8 Sep 2006, p.149]

Los Angeles TimesSamantha Bonar
Season 1 Review: "The Path" is an irresponsible film, with its factual distortions wrapped in a really terrific package that lulls viewers into complacency, setting them up for the propaganda that is to follow. Read full review

Philadelphia InquirerJonathan Storm
Season 1 Review: So much of the dialogue is just dull explanation, and so much of the action rehashes events that are already known. Worse, sometimes, it repeats itself. Read full review

Chicago Sun-TimesDoug Elfman
Season 1 Review: "Path" is the dullest, worst-shot TV movie since ABC's disastrous "Ten Commandments" remake. It substitutes shaky handheld cameras and dumb dialogue for craftsmanship. It could not be more amateurish or poorly constructed unless someone had forgotten to light the sets. Read full review
