·
The
Washington Post – The Comey Rule is an occasionally artful and eventually absorbing
dramatic reenactment of former FBI director James B. Comey’s unfortunate and,
by his account, unavoidable role in two permanently upsetting events before and
after the 2016 election of President Trump.
·
Entertainment
Weekly – For the
pro-Trump crowd, The Comey Rule is destined to be dismissed as more #FakeNews
from liberal Hollyweirdos. For everyone else, it offers the uniquely punishing
experience of repeating history even as we continue to live through it.
·
Deadline – Jeff Daniels-led event series may be the most
important drama of this election year. The series is excellent and deeply
unsettling.
·
Collider
– The Comey
Rule manages to alarm and frighten us anew with its insider perspective of the
events of 2016 and early 2017, acting as a bleak cautionary tale to remind us
what’s at stake in the weeks remaining until this year’s presidential election.
·
Slate
– The
larger truth of The Comey Rule is incontestable. It’s the story of institutions
run in accordance with norms and traditions that seem permanent but prove
terrifyingly fragile. Comey gets out, but the rest of us are still living in
the sequel.
