As long as you don't come to it for a direct history lesson, it is as entertaining as almost any new show of 2020.

The miniseries is good - at times, great. But Hawke is beyond great; he is incandescent.

Rolling Stone

Shifting the perspective allows Hawke to go mountainous with his performance. He is a sweaty, manic, delusional wonder to behold, giving the story a jolt whenever he appears. He is also, in something of a rarity in his career, incredibly funny.

The disdain is breathtaking and infuriating. If only it seemed more distant.

While Brown's mission is epic, the series feels more like a character study, and it is best in its more relaxed behind-the-scenes moments.

Sydney Morning Herald

Hawke, it scarcely needs saying, is an utter delight, his character hanging by a single broken hinge, but being afforded no unwarranted deference by those who tire of his interminable prayers. A wild ride you'll want to get on.

Pittsburgh Tribune-Review

Hawke mesmerizes as Brown -- excellent casting for a wild-eyed character -- and Johnson brings a mix of a child's innocence and a young man's recognition of the craziness of the world around him to his sometimes heartbreaking performance.

Percolates with quirky and strange energy, overflowing with its sense of America as a place defined by its oddity.

Fine entertainment, capturing some measure of McBride's jaunty, irreverent humor and featuring an absorbing performance by Ethan Hawke.

Seven hours of The Good Lord Bird left me both clear-eyed about John Brown as a historical figure and curious to learn more. Above all, it left me with zero doubts about Hawke's ever-evolving talent.

Boston Globe

The show's rowdy atmosphere is flexible enough to slide into intensely moving and disturbing moments, thanks to directors such as Albert Hughes and Kevin Hooks and creator-writers Hawke and Mark Richard, all of whom stay true to McBride's vision.
