The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 41% approval rating with an average rating of 6.00/10, based on 44 critic reviews. The website's critics consensus reads, "Despite formidable stars and a rich history to draw from, a lack of focus and shallow characterization make The First Lady second-rate television."
The First Lady. ★★★½. Paramount+. “A woman is like a teabag,” explains Gillian Anderson’s Eleanor Roosevelt. “You’ll never know how strong it is until it’s in hot water.” And if the former first lady of the United States has a look of self-satisfaction as she delivers this pithy maxim, well, she has certainly earned it.
