The Duchess: Season 1 / Reviews

Salon
There's some inspired crude in here, to be sure, but you have to bust through a lot of gravelly stupidity to get to it.

There's a lot to like in The Duchess, not least the furious flow of jokes and unapologetic tone of it all (and of Katherine in particular)... [but] Katherine herself too often steps across the line from bitch to simple sociopath.

Daily Telegraph
There are fleeting glimpses of a War of the Roses-style divorce farce or a sweet mother-and-daughter comedy, albeit one with a less dysfunctional dynamic. Instead what we're left is a loud, mildly amusing mess.

At its worst, The Duchess is a disastrous Catastrophe copycat. At its best, it's a deranged mother-daughter love story. But nothing can erase the stink lines radiating off this alleyway dumpster.

A tasteless misfire... It's furthermore painful to watch stupid behavior, and stupid writing, treated by its creator as subversively intelligent.
