Critics Reviews

Valerie Anne Autostraddle In this time where we're more aware than ever of the insidiousness of the patriarchy, and yet have to struggle and fight at every turn to get out from under its thumb, it was really empowering to be dropped into this universe where the matriarchy reigned. May 22, 2020 Full Review Caroline Framke Variety Motherland combines too many ideas in order to make one wildly confusing show that, despite its insistence otherwise, struggles to understand what "empowerment" actually means. Mar 18, 2020 Full Review Inkoo Kang The Hollywood Reporter Fort Salem offers a beautiful world to gaze at, but it's hard to get lost inside it. Mar 18, 2020 Full Review Brian T. Carney Washington Blade Creates an exciting new world where traditional gender roles are flipped and where an elite female fighting squad depends on supernatural skills and the power of women’s upraised voices as much as on advanced weaponry and physical prowess. May 20, 2022 Full Review James Hanton Starburst More inventiveness is needed to make Fort Salem linger in the memory. There is great potential for the show if Season 2 is injected with more depth and risk. Rated: 3 / 5 Sep 4, 2020 Full Review Zehra Phelan 2 Minute Telly Creator Eliot Laurence has the bones of a decent show; the history of this all-female military is built with intrigue. If they had explored its roots this could have been a more captivating series alongside the input of real female voices. Rated: 7/10 Jul 29, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
