"The biggest problem is a cold, icy aesthetic that Berry does her best to break through but that feels like the product of a writer’s room that lacks passion."

—

RogerEbert.com

"What’s the worst thing about it? Just about all of the acting."

—

The Guardian

"It’s no surprise that Spielberg is a producer on the series, as it borrows many of the best elements of his 2001 film A.I."

—

IndieWire

"Extant is both suspenseful and quite silly..."

—

The New York Times

"Extant gives serious screen time and consideration to philosophical issues... That’s a rare thing, and it’s refreshing. I wish I could say other nice things about it..."

—

Vulture

"It is an elegant and well-appointed production, with some nice Cinematic Moments..."

—

Los Angeles Times

"The show has troubling signs that it'll spend a lot of time wheel-spinning."

—

Salon

"Extant feels a bit like a Steven Spielberg greatest (and not-so-greatest) hits album..."

—

Variety

"Extant makes good use of Berry's skill at portraying a likable, apparently average woman suddenly having to deal with extraordinary events or circumstances."
