Amaya Toman "Little America avoids trying to be patriotic propaganda, not because it despises the United States and its laws (which it rarely does), but selectively highlights the best that America has to offer." by IndieWire's Ben Travers.
"For a series composed of so many seemingly diverse cultural and geographical elements, the care of the authors is felt throughout each installment," reports Inkoo Kang of the Hollywood Reporter.
"Little America is a thoughtful show created with obvious care and consideration for the dignified portrayal of the cultures it features." according to Variety's Caroline Framke.
"A great show - arguably the best of Apple's pilot... Those who watch will find many reasons to love these distant yet intertwined migrant experiences that make specific things general and general things specific." wrote Alan Sepinwall of Rolling Stone.
