AUDIENCE SCORE
Critic Consensus: Deadline deserves credit for its excellent writing and stellar casting, but the drama's depiction of the journalism industry rings decidedly false.

Critic Reviews for Deadline: Season 1
All Critics (12) | Top Critics (9) | Fresh (7) | Rotten (5)
Culturebox couldn't help being disappointed to see journalists being as lionized as if they were doctors on ER.
[Deadline] gave me Dick Wolf fatigue around the three-quarters mark.
Journalists are not heroes. This is the basic flaw of Deadline. If viewers can buy this fantasy, they'll find that Deadline is a typical [Dick] Wolf drama, sharply written and tightly executed by a marvelous cast.
Despising journalists may be in vogue, but Platt is easy to like in the lead role. Still, it's the supporting cast that makes "Deadline" worth watching.
Deadline is a flaccid, implausible piece of work. And thank goodness for newspapers -- TV shows about the online world would have been even worse.
Deadline presents its hero as a smug, clever, overpaid overdresser, and that this caricature is embodied by feature-film character actor Oliver Platt with the jaunty glee of a performer relishing the chance to be a leading man for a change.
