For the People (2018) • Season 1 Ratings & Reviews
Washington Post
Hank Stuever
... a stultifying sense of been-there, done-that.
Entertainment Weekly
Maggie Fremont
The latest Shondaland venture (created by Paul William Davies) is about - you guessed it - attractive lawyers fighting for justice and, probably, hooking up in New York City. And you guys, I am here for this.
TV Fanatic
Paul Dailly
For The People has a lot going for it. It has a talented cast, a vast world, and some decent writing. With some tweaks, it could be the next big legal drama.
The Hollywood Reporter
Daniel Fienberg
Don't go into For the People expecting the sensationalist procedural melodrama often associated with the Shondaland brand and you might find yourself appreciating the simple pleasures of a deep ensemble cast delivering reams of clever dialogue.
Variety
Sonia Saraiya
The youngsters are fresh-faced, their monologues are impassioned, and workplace drama has never been higher-pitched. But none of this covers for the fact that the show lacks soul.
Common Sense Media
Melissa Camacho
Slightly soapy legal series set in NY federal court.
AARP Movies for Grownups
Tim Appelo
Why, it's just Grey's Anatomy for the legal set! But there's a reason the Rhimes formula is successful, and there's enough that's fresh in For the People to make it worth checking out.

As a non-Shondaland enthusiast, I was surprised how much I didn't mind "For the People"... its new legal series.
Refinery29
Ariana Romero
It's a familiar journey with enough timely knots, snappy dialogue, and surprising, but not impossible, resolutions to make for an fun hour of television.
Los Angeles Times
Lorraine Ali
Perhaps the show will move into fresher territory or find its feet as it moves forward, but the initial formulaic approach doesn't make for a winning case.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Rob Owen
There's not enough time to get into the meat of any of the legal battles. For that, you're better off signing up for CBS All Access where Good Wife spin-off The Good Fight recently began its second season.
Salon.com
Melanie McFarland
As it starts, its episodes place a vision of how justice is supposed to work front and center. In this anxious era of lawbreaking at the federal level increasingly perceived as business as usual, that message has real worth.
TV Guide
Liz Raftery
Davies should consider taking some more risks with the show and actually trying to break from some longstanding Shondaland traditions if he wants to truly make For the People a standout show on its own merits.
Newsday
Verne Gay
The women characters of For the People are treated with respect and dignity. It's Time's Up applied to prime-time entertainment -- and it's about time.
Entertainment Weekly
Kristen Baldwin
For the People is formulaic in the best way possible, meaning it delivers exactly what you want from a Shondaland drama - and perhaps a little bit more.
