Alaska Daily • Season 1 Ratings & Reviews
SSG Syndicate
Susan Granger
Casting humorless, abrasive, even pugnacious Hilary Swank as a humorless, abrasive, pugnacious journalist works BUT taking a 3-month hiatus between episodes 6 and 7 may dissipate whatever tension and interest it Tom McCarthy's series originally provoked-
New York Post
Michael Starr
A too- earnest, tropey drama that's well-intentioned but heavy-handed in checking all the requisite contextual boxes.
The Daily Beast
Coleman Spilde
Watching it, I felt a sensation I hadn't in far too long: This is something new.
TV Guide
Kelly Connolly
The show's most glaring flaw is at its center: a New Yorker telling Alaskans how to write about Alaska, a white woman telling her Native coworker how to solve the murder of an Alaska Native woman.
Common Sense Media
Monique Jones
This is a powerful drama that both upholds the tenets of investigative journalism and puts the issue of missing and murdered Indigenous women (MMIW) on its largest platform yet.
Pajiba
Dustin Rowles
It's in something of a no man's land: It's too good for network television, and not as good as it could be if it were on streaming, but it's also exactly what I want: A throwback to the type of dramas that networks used to produce.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Swank and the supporting players are terrific together.
Paste Magazine
Whitney Friedlander
The show would be better served to call itself The Daily Alaskan, because the real story is about the newsroom of (largely female) journalists who work in Alaska, daily.
Decider
Joel Keller
It may be a low bar, but if we're watching a network series where we don't roll our eyes or throw up our hands at what we're seeing on the screen, there's a good chance that we'll want to see more of it.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Lloyd
Like "The West Wing," another product of network television, it is a tract in the form of a drama, making the case for the dedicated maintenance of a pillar of democratic society. I can't argue with that.
IndieWire
Ben Travers
Alaska Daily isn't just a fish-out-of-water story spouting enough political buzzwords to feign significance. It's lazy. And not even an Oscar (or two) means you can get away with not trying.
The Hollywood Reporter
Daniel Fienberg
Unsatisfyingly stuck between broadcast and cable drama.
Newsday
Verne Gay
A true rarity - a sharply drawn portrait of local journalism.
Rolling Stone
Alan Sepinwall
Alaska Daily is basically three different shows lurking under the same title. One is good, one is fine, and one is terrible. Guess which one Alaska Daily spends the least amount of time on?
The Playlist
Marya E. Gates
Swank and Dove are well worth watching, however, despite its good intentions, the first two episodes reveal "Alaska Daily" to be yet another run-of-the-mill drama.
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
Rob Owen
There's enough potential in Alaska Daily, to easily be fall broadcast TV's best drama pilot that it's worth rooting for this series that's earnest without being cloying, sincere without getting sappy. And it's accurate.
Variety
Daniel D'Addario
The strength of the show is in burrowing into character and situation to find something fresh behind the basics. The pilot shows promise for what may, with time and care, bloom into a strong entry on ABC's schedule.
