Robert Levin Newsday Kerry Washington and Delroy Lindo are as good as you'd expect, if not better. Rated: 3/4 Mar 21, 2023 Full Review Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) It makes for an awkward tone at times, but an emotionally satisfying understanding between the generations. Mar 16, 2023 Full Review Daniel D'Addario Variety Washington’s back to the angle that suits her best -- and at the heart of a sweetly intended show of disarming quality. Mar 11, 2023 Full Review Stephanie Morgan Common Sense Media It's the rare 30-minute show that strikes the perfect balance between humor and impactful storytelling. Rated: 5/5 Oct 11, 2023 Full Review Brooke Obie The Grio This hilarious show goes the distance, exploring the pain and comedy of a single mom reconnecting with her estranged father who’s been incarcerated for nearly two decades. Jul 20, 2023 Full Review Dustin Rowles Pajiba If there’s a knock against Unprisoned, however, it’s that it isn’t a loud show; there aren’t a lot of character or plot twists, and no there are no scenes in the series designed to go viral. The cast is great. The writing is smart. The vibe is chill. Mar 31, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

marilyn c It was awkward and unpleasant. Not a single character was interesting or even felt genuine. I am not sure what other viewers liked about it.
