A powerful work of dramatic fiction, a wrenching story of power's last, acrid breaths, of the blood and darkness that gather around an unrelinquished throne.

I commend this show for finding a way to make each character compelling right out of the gate and make me care about what happens to them, or at least be intrigued about how they fit into the puzzle.

The Gus Vant Sant-directed pilot of what is easily the most important project in Starz history pulses with the sort of corruption that absolute power sires.

Momentum, or lack thereof, is the biggest problem here; episodes clock in at over 50 minutes but they feel much longer.

Boss rarely takes its foot off the accelerator and the filming style, with frequent lingering closeups of eyes or lips, magnifies the intensity.
October 21, 2011
A tonally inconsistent affair that nonetheless displays enough ambition that one could easily vote for it to return in the hope that it develops into the TV leader it could ultimately end up being.

It would be easy to venture into the decadent and outlandish on a show like this, but Boss has an admirable delicateness to it
October 21, 2011
Boss can be a little over-cooked or even half-baked at times in its depiction of time-honored Windy City corruption. But it's got a great big bite to it, with never a dull moment or badly shot scene.
October 21, 2011
Boss is electric with self-importance, and that is in itself is a hoot, given its particular combination of thematic pomp and expressionistic pulp.
