What Are the Critics Saying about Active Shooter: America Under Fire?
Active Shooter: America Under Fire has been well-received by viewers. It does not have an official critics rating yet but has an average audience score of 96% on Rotten Tomatoes.
The Atlantic’s Sophie Gilbert says, “Active Shooter is unusual in that it’s a series on a major premium-cable channel that’s directly engaging with the subject of mass shootings. For the most part, film and television writers steer clear of the subject, and when they do engage with it, they often collide with the ever-more frequent instances of gun violence in the news and are pulled from the air.”
Christopher Lawrence from Las Vegas Review-Journal writes, “As harrowing as Active Shooter can be, there’s an underlying hopefulness to it, as communities rally around those affected by the tragedies.”
