Changes are evident in tonight's episode, but the creative tinkering hasn't compromised the integrity of this remarkable show. [25 Sep 1992]

[A] beautifully crafted, tough-minded hour ... I'll Fly Away has already lived up to its hype as the season's strongest new drama.

It's a warm, powerful, 90 minutes, slow and moving and wonderful as the 37 previous episodes - and a satisfying conclusion. [11 Oct 1993]

It's painful to criticize a show that has intelligence and depth, but there's no getting around the fact that overarching earnestness and a subtle but troubling air of fatalism combine to make this a dolorous hour.

This isn't about killing a mockingbird. This is about boring one to death. [7 Oct 1991]

Absolutely one of the most engaging TV series ever produced. Every few years, something reminds me of this series, and I search exhaustively for the DVD. Sadly, it remains in limbo, unavailable for purchase or streaming.
