Despite moving a little slowly, The Plot Against America's parallels to today's political and ideological landscape make us want to keep watching.

Zoe Kazan of The Big Sick delivers a stunning performance as Herman's wife, Elizabeth, a pragmatist managing her family's disparate reactions to events and her own rising sense of panic.
March 16, 2020
It's a chilling and effective reflection of American life in the past five years and semi-paranoid fantasy of where the country could head.

Simon and his writing partner... Ed Burns, are to be commended for not only fashioning such an engrossing and provocative drama, but also for assembling a top-to-bottom standout cast that makes the mesmerizing most of this potent material.

It all adds up to enthralling, essential viewing.

The ensemble cast is flawless too, totally convincing as real people of the period, with perfect pitch at the crucial turning points in the plot, and carrying that beguiling authenticity that characterises anything David Simon does.
March 16, 2020
That was my feeling going in, a hesitance to spend even more time contemplating the clenching grip of fascism. But Simon and Burns, as they have done in the past, find a graceful path through the grimness.

Roth captured big, complicated ideas about a big complicated country. They're far too big for any screen. Sorry - even one as lovingly attended to as this one.
March 13, 2020
[A] complex, character-driven drama that will linger in your head long after it's over.
March 16, 2020
Roth's story becomes a meticulously detailed and gorgeously directed miniseries.

But the series' feet are in the 1940s while its head is in the late 2010s. And as a result doesn't feel like it fully belongs anywhere.

How Simon escalates the story, and just how close to home the series hits, is yet to be seen. But "The Plot Against America" is off to a promising beginning - if not in content, then in form.
