Some things to consider when looking at stylistic elements of criticism.
Vocabulary: (is it sophisticated? Scholarly? Literary? Colloquial? Accessible or not?)
Rhythm: Does the author mix long and short paragraphs, long and short words, different forms or patterns in the language?
Context: What is the writer's approach to the text? Is it a review? Informative, or critical?
Perspective: Does the writer seem to be making a qualitative or value-based judgment? Do they utilize any proofs or evidence or support to make their argument?
Audience: Who is the intended audience or demographic for the review? Does the author seem to consider this in a significant way?
Analysis: Is there depth of analysis in the writing? Is the author more concerned about a specific aspect such as the production values, the storytelling/narrative, the programming considerations (time, schedule, ratings etc.), than about approaching the text as a whole?
