Critic Reviews

Season 1 Review:
The production is bolstered by some stunning visuals and a few tantalizing plot twists that I won't go into here. Also, the we-don't-need-Batman female empowerment angle holds some intrigue. [9 Oct 2002, p.A1]

Season 1 Review:
Birds of Prey isn't "Buffy" or "Alias" smart, but it is fun, and Scott's a breakout star. It's from the producers of "Smallville", but it's much darker -- a good thing -- and has a hip sheen that serves it well. [8 Oct 2002, p.6E]

Season 1 Review:
Once you get past the fact that our three heroines appear to have been chosen with hair-color endorsements in mind - Scott's hair is nearly black, Meyer's is auburn and Skarsten's a blonde - Birds of Prey looks as if it might have possibilities. [9 Oct 2002, p.44]

Season 1 Review:
Thanks to its lively wit and playful visual style, Birds of Prey delivers a good bit of escapist entertainment. [9 Oct 2002]

Season 1 Review:
Worth watching for anyone interested in comic-book fantasy with a solemn bent. [8 Oct 2002, p.E1]

Season 1 Review:
When the heroes look like this, you don't have to sweat the details. [9 Oct 2002, p.D09]

Season 1 Review:
But as visually sleek and occasionally funny as Birds of Prey starts out, the show will have to get out from under its tangled premise if it's to divert easily wandering attentions. So far, it's difficult to tell where the series might be headed, but there are hints in the premiere. [9 Oct 2002, p.12C]

Season 1 Review:
The problem with Birds is that you have seen it all before. The show is competent enough, but everything it has to offer -- from the rain-drenched streets to the wisecracking heroine -- has been done better elsewhere. [9 Oct 2002, p.4D]

Season 1 Review:
Ominously dark, loaded with splashy visual special effects and soundtrack whooshes and vrooms, with costumes by the Frederick's of Hollywood Martial Arts Division, Birds of Prey bogs down early in lengthy and tedious exposition, the sort of back-story explanation that scriptwriters call "laying pipe." [8 Oct 2002, p.E-6]

Season 1 Review:
The series itself, though it has a stylized look and interesting set design, begins with a lethargic lack of wonder. [9 Oct 2002, p.87]

Season 1 Review:
It's a jumbled construct that doesn't feel natural - particularly when Alfred the butler appears to tidy up for the ladies. The show's look is sleek, but all the Batman mythology seems like little more than yet another way to repackage WB angst. [9 Oct 2002, p.C14]

Season 1 Review:
What next? An unholy alliance between Aquaman's niece and the Thing's second cousin? "Birds of Prey" is for the birds. [9 Oct 2002, p.1D]

Season 1 Review:
What is surprising is that the network that turned "Small ville" into a soaring hit has crashed so badly with its second flight of Spandex fancy.
