"Clarice dwells in darkness, but is in nobody's shadow... an unusually well-made network procedural."

—

Variety

"The umpteenth drama about grisly murders and tough cops who care. At least be a nice cannibal and add some flavoring."

—

Entertainment Weekly

"What keeps Clarice only slightly disappointing instead of infuriating is that Kurtzman, Lumet and Breed really do have a solid grasp on Clarice Starling as a character and even some thoughtful ideas about how the events of Silence impacted her."

—

Hollywood Reporter

"All the drama of this sharply written new tale is focused devotedly on Clarice, now portrayed with heart and intelligence by Rebecca Breeds."

—

Wall Street Journal

"The show's hacky obviousness couldn't be any further removed from the ethos of Jonathan Demme's seminal 1991 thriller."

—

Slant Magazine

"This new adventure isn't bad, but it also can't rewrite our memories of its superior predecessors."

—

Rolling Stone

"Clarice is not going to rival the film that spawned it but on its own, low-stakes terms, it's a damn sight better than expected, a show born from Silence that warrants plenty of conversation."
