"Like a good country song, Monarch has already figured out how to keep us coming back."

—

Vulture

"The series is guilty pleasure TV hiding in prestige clothing and backed by a cast that can really sing."

—

Independent

"A lot happens every hour, which is a handy way of helping its audience forget that there's no real character development going on."

—

TV Guide

"(It's) like one of those sanitised, country-rock, overproduced chart-toppers. Catchy and slick, more about the toe-tapping and the easy hooks than true heart."

—

Chicago Sun-Times

"The show... turns into a familiar family drama, relying on plot twists that any regular viewer of the genre can see coming from a mile away."

—

A.V. Club

"Monarch has an antic, uncomfortable energy, as if it’s not confident being what it is or about what it’s about."

—

Variety

"Monarch is a soap that’s all suds and no substance..."

—

Decider

"Monarch is an objectively mediocre show that is also undeniably watchable..."

—

Entertainment Weekly

"There’s no breakout character to be found in Monarch and no breakout performance in a show that desperately needs its own version of Taraji P. Henson’s Cookie."
