Critic Reviews

Jeff Korbelik

Season 1 Review: What’s extremely effective is the relationship (and chemistry) between Sequoyah and McLaughlin. You will find yourself rooting for them and hoping nothing comes between them. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Grand special effects, impressive acting by the young Sequoyah and an enduring interest in all things supernatural may help Believe to catch on. Read full review

Robert Bianco

Season 1 Review: As you'd hope from an hour directed by Cuarón, Monday's premiere moves swiftly and surely, with well-shot action sequences and bursts of visual flare, led by a nightmarish image of birds coming to Bo's rescue. Small touches of humor mix with large doses of pseudo-spiritual sentiment.... Yet for all those flourishes, nothing really shakes that feeling that it's all been done before and it won't end well.

Season 1 Review: Despite some beautiful images--starting with bright blue butterflies--Believe has the makings of a very old-fashioned procedural, with Tate and Bo destined to journey from place to place changing the lives of those she meets with her cryptic insights while staying one step ahead from those who would capture her.

Season 1 Review: The pilot is at its best when Cuaron's visual choreography takes center stage; at its worst, when any of the characters open their mouths. Read full review

Rob Owen

Mar 10, 2014

Season 1 Review: An OK (but visually unexceptional) pilot that does little to set viewers up for what the show will be on a week-to-week basis. Read full review

Uncle Barky Ed Bark

Mar 7, 2014

Season 1 Review: Darkly shot and dimly plotted, the premiere episode never comes close to firming its grip. It instead plods and meanders, inviting viewers to invest elsewhere rather than buy into this poorly put-together jumble of something or other. Read full review
