Season 1 Review: The show is a modern Mad Men, but without the mystery or the allure. Trust Me all too often feels like going to work. Read full review

Pittsburgh Post-GazetteRob Owen
Season 1 Review: For fans of "Mad Men," Trust Me offers a modern, more recognizable ad agency world but the tone of TNT's series is completely different. It is not "Mad Men: The Next Generation," not by a long shot. And the show's quality lags leaps and bounds behind. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyKen Tucker
Season 1 Review: This is an hour-long drama trying to cross Mad Men with Aaron Sorkin-style walk-and-talk dialogue. It’s a clever concept that curdles with cutesy self-consciousness. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The series isn't bad. It just isn't all that good. Read full review

USA TodayRobert Bianco
Season 1 Review: "Mad Men" is the genre's gold standard, and the inevitable thematic comparisons just accentuates Trust Me's flaws, making the show seem even more dispensable. Read full review

VarietyBrian Lowry
Season 1 Review: While it's nice to see McCormack and Cavanagh back in episodic form, their similarities diminish their interplay, inasmuch as it's not a reach to envision both in either role. Everyone else pretty much falls into predictable archetypes, from the nerdy young creative team to Griffin Dunne as the constantly frazzled boss. Read full review

Chicago Sun-TimesMisha Davenport
Season 1 Review: Though it features dialogue delivered rapid-fire like the best David Mamet plays, the show isn't quite sure what it wants to be. Read full review

PopMattersCynthia Fuchs
Season 1 Review: Cavanagh and McCormack bring what you know they will--an effective mix of fast talk and easy delivery to pitch the partners’ situations, which range from silly to predictable. Read full review

Slant MagazineLen Sousa
Season 1 Review: The series is set in a world that praises the lie, and if the creators can mine that vein for inspiration and avoid falling for the conventional TV drama traps, they could have a better show to sell to their advertisers. Read full review
