Early reviews for the season were generally positive, scoring a 74 out of 100, based on four reviews from Metacritic. [22] Linda Stasi of the New York Post gave the premiere high praise, criticizing only the inclusion of Ellison's reporter character: "What this well-written series does not need is a character whose only job seems to be moving the story along with expository dialogue in the guise of interviews." [23] The New York Times 's Mike Hale focused on the relationship between Cullen and Elam: "A prickly alliance founded on mutual respect and constantly threatened by both history and present, unpleasant circumstance, it's more subtle and moving than your average TV bromance and brings out the best in Common and Mr. Mount." [24]
Its two-part season premiere saw an increase in viewers from the second season's premiere and double the network's Saturday prime time average. [25]
