Critics have been allowed to share their first reviews for Monarch: Legacy of Monsters season 1. At the time of writing, the majority of the reviews are positive, but the average score isn't higher than a B or 3/5. While some critics have had strong reactions to the show in either direction, the typical response is lukewarm, much like Empire's John Nugent, who says that there are "episodes that feel like treading water" with "lots of contrived Dan Brown-esque clues.
What the Critics Are Saying About Monarch: Legacy of Monsters The most positive review for the MonsterVerse spinoff so far comes from Tessa Smith at Mama's Geeky, who says that "if you are a fan of the Godzilla films, it is safe to say that this is... right up your alley." In general, critics have praised the appearances of the monsters, which are scattered throughout the more centralized human storylines.
The reviews have also featured great praise for the Monarch cast, especially father and son duo Wyatt and Kurt Russell. Alex Maidy of JoBlo says that the pair "parallel each other’s performances wonderfully" and Chris Evangelista of SlashFilm calls Kurt "perhaps the best thing about the entire show." ComicBook's Megan Peters goes so far as to say "the show only recovers from stumbles thanks to its compelling performances.
However, other aspects of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters aren't looked on so fondly. This includes the pacing, as Jeanine T. Abraham laments on Medium that the Monarch story "starts with a bang but loses steam as the series continues." Midwest Film Journal's Evan Dossey also shares some disappointment that "trauma takes center stage in a profoundly mid-2010s way" in the contemporary storyline.
