What Critics Are Saying About SHOWTIME’s YOUR HONOR

• YOUR HONOR, a New Thriller, is Just One Item on a Standout Weekend TV Schedule

“YOUR HONOR starts superbly. That start is a little masterclass in prestige-popcorn TV. Mystery and anxiety mix in a way that’s both grave and grabby…It’s a great, tight premise, and there is a lot of fine acting here. Cranston is great at this stuff; Stuhlbarg is exceptional as the furious crime boss, and Hope Davis is magnificent as his wife.”
- John Doyle, The Globe and Mail

• Bryan Cranston Shines as a Desperate Father in YOUR HONOR

“At first glance, YOUR HONOR seems to be a straightforward drama, but it often leaves small clues that hint at bigger mysteries…small nuggets of mystery blended together with an intense storyline and a brilliant performance from Cranston make YOUR HONOR an intriguing series.”
- Terry Terrones, The Gazette
