"30 Days is television news done differently.” - The New York Times

“Nowhere in the dime-a-dozen genre of reality TV is there anything that feels as real or important. Everyone should watch at least an episode of 30 Days this season. It’s sophisticated and relevant reality TV.” - The National Review

“30 Days is a hot-button series that dares to stir in politics, clashing cultural values and personal conflict in a documentary format with strong political themes. Like any well-done reality show, it traffics in a kind of voyeurism but does so without leaving the viewer feeling dirty afterwards.” - Media Life

“It’s too much to ask of a television show that it solve a seeming intractable dispute. But by showing the humanity on both sides of the issue, 30 Days provides a valuable and timely service.” - Los Angeles Times

“Spurlock’s participation, along with documentarian R.J. Cutler, guarantees both high quality and one of the smartest approaches in reality TV.” - The Hartford Courant

“This is real reality television, where a person’s actions actually matter. The show’s visual quality is spectacular.” - Chicago Sun-Times
