Critic Reviews

Maureen Ryan

Season 1 Review: This hybrid, which is competent but not terribly distinctive, may not be unique enough to thrill reality fans or familiar enough to satisfy devotees of “Deadliest Catch.” Read full review

David Hinckley

Season 1 Review: This group doesn't need a villain or a backstabber, at least in the early stage. The job is enough of an equalizer. Read full review

Verne Gay

Season 1 Review: Problem here is that Beers is yoking his specialty with something that is not his forte--reality competition. The result often feels forced and frivolous. Read full review

Brian Lowry

Season 1 Review: America's Toughest Jobs misfires, primarily, due to the fact that the elimination component feels like a tired add-on to the summer-camp-for-adults premise. Read full review

Matthew Gilbert

Season 1 Review: This show amounts to yet another example of the pains people will take to appear on TV. By the end of the premiere, even the crabs are starting to look a little bored. Read full review

Ray Richmond

Season 1 Review: America's Toughest Jobs has been fully homogenized and networkized to appeal to a more mainstream crowd, meaning it has successfully neutered one of the few unscripted genres with genuine grit and originality and made it look, sound and feel like every other "Survivor" knockoff.

Season 1 Review: Are you ready for a new fall network series--even a lame one? Read full review
