Reviews
"Pearson" received mixed to moderately positive reviews from critics and audiences alike. On IMDb, it holds a rating of 6.8 out of 10, suggesting a generally favorable audience reception. Critics have praised Gina Torres' commanding performance, highlighting her ability to bring depth and nuance to the character of Jessica Pearson. Rotten Tomatoes does not provide an aggregated score for the series, but individual reviews commend the show for tackling relevant political and social issues with a sharp eye, though some note that the pacing can be uneven and that it struggles to capture the same magic as "Suits." Metacritic ratings are limited, but critical feedback points out that while "Pearson" offers a fresh angle by focusing on political drama rather than legal drama, it sometimes falls into TV drama clichés and predictable plotlines. Overall, the series is recognized for its compelling lead and timely subject matter but may struggle to maintain consistent tension or originality throughout its episodes. Some reviewers specifically note the strong production values and well-developed supporting cast as strong points, recommending the show to fans of political dramas and viewers interested in character-driven narratives.
