Cleveland Plain DealerTom FeranNov 20, 2019
Season 1 Review: So relentlessly watchable it's likely to be habit-forming after two doses, City of Angels is more than a promising midseason addition. It makes an immediate case for itself as the best drama on CBS. [16 Jan 2000, p.6I]

Season 1 Review: The show's in good hands. Let's give them time to lift Angels a little higher. [14 Jan 2000]

Season 1 Review: Sunday's premiere episode of City of Angels is polished, but it lacks the raw intensity of other Bochco shows like "NYPD Blue," "L.A. Law," "Hill Street Blues," even "Murder One." Pacing is languorous - closer to "Chicago Hope" than "ER" - and anyone who remembers "St. Elsewhere" will quickly realize that one of the show's key characters, the hospital itself, seems underused in City of Angels. [14 Jan 2000]

Season 1 Review: Parts of it are very good and some of the lines are very funny, but a lot of it is also condescending. [14 Jan 2000]

Season 1 Review: It will take more than good intentions and warm feelings to make City of Angels a success. [14 Jan 2000, p.E-1]
