Pittsburgh Tribune-Review

If there’s any downside to this new season it’s that the first half feels stronger than the second half. Returning characters’ personality changes in the first half of the new season are necessary tweaks that help lift the show’s overall mood, which makes “American Rust” more entertaining and less depressing.

Decider

Despite good performances from Daniels and Tierney, American Rust: Broken Justice doesn’t make a case that a second season will be any more of a grim exercise than the first was.
