It’s the kind of show that sits with you long after it’s over.

While The Red Road is not quite in the same league as "True Detective" or "Broadchurch," it is better than most, and it succeeds at drawing dramatic tension not from lots of plot-twist fireworks, but from the long-simmering resentments, private shames and historical injustices embedded in a community few viewers are familiar with.

Wall Street Journal
A six-part saga awash in fashionable gloom, set in the mountains of New Jersey, and much of the time a compelling one in its picture of the tensions between the Van Der Veens, members of an Indian tribe, and the blue-collar Jensens, headed by Harold (Martin Henderson), a police officer.

The Red Road may not be SundanceTV's strongest drama, but it has a hypnotic power, a strange rhythm of dread that makes it far more interesting than most network dramas.

While certainly not bad, the series would be better if it came with fewer built-in speed bumps, and a little more narrative momentum.

It’s exciting to watch Momoa and Henderson give riveting performances, so it’s not like there’s nothing to recommend here. It’s just that in watching them do it, you wish the story was giving them more fodder and not bogging itself down in side arcs.

TV Guide Magazine
A lugubrious six-episode drama that's as overwrought as it is underwhelming.

A cat and mouse kind of drama with criminals and police you’re supposed to sympathize with because they are forced into some difficult situations. Well after a while the criminals and corrupt police are just that and I’m not ready to watch something where all of the main characters are excessively flawed, unless it’s a parody of course.

Déjà, on constate quelques erreurs dans le casting, puisque Momoa n’est certainement pas un Amérindien et sa mère -dans la série- ne l’est pas non plus… on a en fait très peu d’Amérindiens ici, ce qui fait désordre pour une série censée se dérouler dans leur communauté… aucun effort donc pour soutenir le scénar donc. Et le pauvre scénar d’ailleurs peu avare en psychodrames (familiaux) multiples qui partent dans tous les sens a bien du mal à tenir debout puisqu’il a été -on s’en rend compte rapidement-boulotté par des alcooliques et/ou des drogués. En conséquence de quoi, l’ensemble sombre dans la caricature -à l’insu de son plein gré sans doute- dans une caricature grossière qui a pour cadre un polar éventé et des personnages névropathes assez lamentables. Même la partie ‘criminelle’ s’avère aussi maladroite que poussive, pour ne pas dire complètement claquée au sol. Une série (de merde) à éviter où rien na va… y compris le grand abruti qui avait déjà du mal à incarner un Aqua Man crédible, et c’est peu de le dire ! quelle tanche, franchement… il ferait mieux de retourner surfer ou alors, pourquoi pas, de faire le videur : avec sa tronche peu avenante et son air renfrogné et patibulaire, il a tout à fait la (sale) gueule de l’emploi. Et l’autre blaireau n’en mène pas large non plus, non, non : ils font la paire, ces deux cons !
