Blanchett's Emmy-worthy performance makes Mrs. America one of the more watchable shows that have come out so far this year.

For as electrifying as Blanchett's performance is as Schlafly... the show finds electric purpose in depicting the work of legislators, organizers, and activists whose work has been terribly overlooked in mainstream culture.

The series is best described as an epic tragedy, and a captivating, nuanced one.

The best series of the season.

Through socially conscious storytelling and masterful performances by Blanchett and the entire cast of women, Mrs. America will hopefully reignite the memory of the ERA (which remains unratified).
April 15, 2020
To its credit, Mrs. America circumvents the seductively easy narrative about powerful women at each other's throats for a more nuanced one that pits their ideas and organizing strategies against each other, with illuminating results.

There are a lot of plots in "Mrs. America..." But they're woven together organically, unfolding with the same grace of the phenomenal cast.

'Mrs. America' is a remarkable series but one that, perhaps due to its theme and ambition, aspired to be better than it is. And it is good. [Full Review in Spanish]

Only Cate Blanchett could sell the little faces Phyllis makes when no one's looking-what she won't say and can't say. Her performance isn't exactly eliciting sympathy; it's just a masterwork in letting you read her mind without missing a beat.

Schlafly is ostensibly the subject here, and Blanchett's performance is masterful, but Mrs. America is an ensemble piece in which its central figure functions as an event.
April 15, 2020
Something seems amiss, separate from the filmmaking, separate from the artistry. Maybe it's just that it can be hard to separate Mrs. America's utter bleakness from its quality.

"Mrs. America" is a show that will leave you thinking and, if you're femme in any way, questing for a revolution.
