The Hollywood Reporter
Starz has its channel-defining series in Boss, a wholly impressive new drama that comes out of the gate with gravitas, swagger, originality and intrigue.

Salon
Even at its worst, Boss radiates intelligence and toughness, and an appreciation of politics as a nonstop performance in an unscripted drama.

Entertainment Weekly
Boss may be florid, but its peeks into backroom in-fighting, at favors promised and betrayed, remain strong elements in its favor.

It's a solid enough formula, and if the writers have overly epic ambitions, they also have a collective eye for detail.

Grammer is outstanding enough on his own to merit watching....Boss as a series, though, still doesn't seem like it's quite there.

Its early episodes are a mix of power and disappointment.

The Huffington Post
There are fitful moments that work, but the show also manages to shoot itself in the foot regularly.

Une série politicarde sur la vie chiante comme la pluie d’un maire atteint d’une maladie incurable (c’est pour titiller la corde sensible, une ficelle grosse comme une maison, me dit-on) ; un maire qui se débat dans sa vie de politicard avec un tas d’autres tocards du même acabit dont on a rien à secouer et rien à branler. C’est donc bourré de bavardages stupides et insipides, le tout sur une mise en scène à deux de tension. Le journal télé de TF1 en comparaison (une comparaison très con mais appropriée) et ses chats écrasés s’avère infiniment plus intéressant à suivre que cette série à la godille qui donne envie de balancer sa godasse (et ses pantoufles) à la gueule de l’écran.
