Amy Amatangelo AV Club American Sports Story makes Hernandez a fully-developed person. Rated: B+ Sep 17, 2024 Full Review Kristen Baldwin Entertainment Weekly While 'American Sports Story' doesn’t absolve Aaron Hernandez of guilt — nor should it — it punts the opportunity to issue the harsh rebuke the NFL deserves for its role in the player’s downfall. Rated: B Sep 17, 2024 Full Review Andrew Lawrence Guardian Like football itself, American Sports Story makes itself tough to watch. It makes you wish things had turned out differently for Hernandez. It makes clear: he was as good as doomed. Rated: 4/5 Sep 17, 2024 Full Review Joel Keller Decider American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez treats its story with respect and not as a tabloidy story ripe for outrageous dramatic scenes. That and the generally good performances make the first season of this new franchise worth watching. Sep 18, 2024 Full Review Akos Peterbencze Paste Magazine Though it’s far from flawless, the show strikes a balance at bringing justice to the victims and assigning blame to those responsible. Rated: 7/10 Sep 17, 2024 Full Review Catherine Springer AwardsWatch There are very serious issues at play here ... but the filmmakers instead spend most of their time focused on the titillating, lurid gossip fodder elements of Aaron’s story, the clickbait, if you will.
