Critic Reviews

David Zurawik

Season 1 Review: As drama, tonight's pilot has its flaws, but it is, nevertheless, one of those electrifying TV productions that instead of simply seeking to divert or amuse, challenges viewers to imagine a reality other than the one they have been conditioned to accept. Read full review

Tim Goodman

Season 1 Review: It's a whole lot better than the premise on paper, and though initially it takes a bit to warm to Davis. Read full review

Mike Duffy

Season 1 Review: "The West Wing" was more vivid, original and compelling than "Commander in Chief" is likely to become. But impressive Geena Davis and the Oval Office gender twist are indeed refreshing. Read full review

Aaron Barnhart

Season 1 Review: While not quite the out-of-the-gate obvious hit that “The West Wing” was, ["Commander In Chief"] has enough going for it that it may soon become America’s favorite soap opera about a president of the United States. Read full review

Robert Lloyd

Season 1 Review: Polished and lively, it is also simplistic, melodramatic and half-baked — though it clips along nicely enough that you may not notice. Read full review

Brian Lowry

Season 1 Review: Despite nice touches in writer-director-exec producer Rod LurieRod Lurie's handsome-looking pilot, there's also a smothering stiffness to it, including Geena Davis' performance as the first female president. Read full review

Verne Gay

Season 1 Review: Finally, the best new comedy of the 2005-06 TV season is here... What's that, you say? This is a drama and not a comedy? Oh, dear. Read full review
