Just a preposterous thriller.
February 04, 2015
Its lead characters for the most part are appealing and accessible, even if their machinations aren't always well-oiled.
February 05, 2015
Tune in Allegiance with unbiased expectations and be prepared to squint at some of the implausibilities, and you might find it perfectly enjoyable.
February 04, 2015
Allegiance does a decent job of propping up its crazy premise with some juicy intrigue and solid performances, though [Gavin] Stenhouse comes off as rather bland.
February 05, 2015
The premise is interesting, and the family drama has potential.
February 04, 2015
For the foreseeable future, the family drama will dominate Allegiance. Unfortunately, the sleepers are a bit of a snooze.
February 04, 2015
If there were no The Americans on FX, then Allegiance on NBC would be a welcome new drama. But there is, so it isn't, since there are so many quality dramas vying for attention these days.
February 05, 2015
If law enforcement really was as dumb as portrayed in NBC's Allegiance, we'd all be speaking Russian and pledging our lives to Vladimir Putin.

One might be tempted to categorize Allegiance as The Americans-lite, because that's pretty much what is. The NBC newcomer doesn't have its cable cousin's depth in cast or storytelling.
February 06, 2015
Great New York setting, fine New York actors, smart writing, so what's wrong? Allegiance is hard to love and believe.
February 02, 2015
Though recent events may have made Allegiance timely, the family drama's still more compelling than the spy story. With "Parenthood" now gone, a family of spies may be better than no family at all.
February 06, 2015
There's a bit of funny buddy comedy with the CIA station chief in New York (Kenneth Choi) schooling Alex in spycraft, but the hyper-complicated family dynamics is what is keeping me tuned in.
