New York Daily NewsDavid HinckleySep 4, 2012
Season 1 Review: This Coma is different enough from the 1978 movie to have its own appeal, and the cast keeps things interesting even during plot lulls. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Coma still provides a few arresting images of what happens to the coma victims, but there's simply too much silliness in the overwrought second half. Read full review
