Chicago Sun-TimesLori RacklApr 10, 2012
Season 1 Review: Soapy melodrama aside, Titanic does a fine job giving viewers a sense of what it was like to be aboard the doomed vessel. Read full review

Pittsburgh Post-GazetteRob OwenApr 16, 2012
Season 1 Review: This fast-paced Titanic miniseries gets better as it goes along. Read full review

New York Daily NewsDavid HinckleyApr 13, 2012
Season 1 Review: While Titanic gets melodramatic and even a little soapy, it achieves what seems to be its main goal: to remind us that when the ship went down, the most terrible loss may have been 1,500 dreams. Read full review

Boston HeraldMark A. PerigardApr 16, 2012
Season 1 Review: Alas, most of the other characters are so weakly sketched, they don't make a ripple. Read full review

The New York TimesAlessandra StanleyApr 13, 2012
Season 1 Review: At least in the early stages, the series is quite entertaining. But over all, the mini-series suffers from defensive storytelling; it's a narrative driven in splintered directions less by inspiration than by avoidance. Read full review

People WeeklyTom GliattoApr 10, 2012
Season 1 Review: It's like watching a manor house sink beneath the waves with loud, hissing pomp. [16 Apr 2012, p.50]

Los Angeles TimesMary McNamaraApr 16, 2012
Season 1 Review: The cast is universally fine, but there's honestly nothing much it can do to avoid being swamped with Fellowes' arrogant attempt to capture the social dimensions of turn-of-the-century Britain, oh, and the sinking of this big boat too. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineMatt RoushApr 13, 2012
Season 1 Review: Even good actors like Linus Roache (the Earl of Manton, as starchy as his collars), Toby Jones (as his obsequious lawyer) and Maria Doyle Kennedy (as Jones' harpy wife) fail to rise above these contrived circumstances. Read full review

Washington PostHank StueverApr 12, 2012
Season 1 Review: Despite its meandering soapiness, there are passing moments of enjoyable "Downton"-like momentum wherein a viewer can eventually let go of the Cameron version (and "A Night to Remember" and the many, many documentaries in cable rotation) and simply enjoy the tilt. Read full review

Season 1 Review: This stately effort manages to be too big, and not nearly big enough. Read full review
