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]

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

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]
Nov 19, 2019
An above-average series with a largely minority cast as well as a significant minority presence behind the cameras. [12 Jan 2000]

Both good and bad. It has some obvious strengths (a strong, easy-to-like cast, a distinctive urban look) and one or two structural weaknesses (conventional plots, flat attempts at humor). If the creators - including Steven Bochco - can edge City of Angels a few more inches into the originality zone in the next few weeks, it has the potential to join TV's growing collection of quality hour-long series. [15 Jan 2000]

The predictability of it -- extending even to the fact that, yes, Underwood's and Fox's characters were once engaged -- is a shame. If a series is going to try to be groundbreaking in one respect, it ought to have the guts to do so in others as well, especially midway through the TV season, when the more interesting fare tends to be allowed to surface.

This is one of those series that were virtually born languishing. It's languishment for the entire family--if the entire family is in a really rank, foul, grouchy mood. [15 Jan 2000, p.C01]
