Reviews

“MINOR DEVIATIONS a Twilight Zone like look at Artificial Intelligence with a Law and Order like twist by Erin Osgood.” Broadway World

“Speaking of twists and turns, Erin Osgood's "Minor Deviations" — with Macklin as a husband looking for an android replacement for his dead wife, Wilson as the head of an agency that can meet his needs, and Safran as various android models — has a dandy.” Berkshire Eagle
