Critic Reviews

50 Hollywood Reporter Barry Garron
If you've seen the original with Donald Trump, there is scarcely a need to view this carbon copy.
50 Los Angeles Times Robert Lloyd
Like "Martha," in which she is required to appear interested in celebrities and to whip up the crowd, "The Apprentice" is not a perfect fit.
40 Newsday Verne Gay
There is no fear in this show or any of the doom, shame, ignominy or flat-out reprobation that comes with getting one's head handed to one by the Donald.... Without fear, there is no danger and without danger, no drama.
40 Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Rob Owen
The same old thing.
40 The New York Times Alessandra Stanley
NBC's teasers for The Apprentice: Martha Stewart had hinted that she would make heads roll and grown men cry. But the premiere episode was a gauzy tribute to her life's work, an evening-wear version of frilly, fun-loving "Martha," Ms. Stewart's new daytime talk show.
30 Variety Brian Lowry
Brings too little that's fresh to a format already exhibiting signs of wear and tear.
