Season 1 Review: There’s something about Coyote, created by David Graziano, Michael Carnes and Josh Gilbert that feels a little bit off. It’s not the performance by Chiklis, which is his usual combination of tough but with seeds of doubt. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The series improves somewhat as it delves into the backstories of its Mexican characters. “Coyote” proves watchable but too derivative. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The craftsmanship, plotting, and performances are top notch. But the broad stereotypes early in the season, the lack of female characters who feel three-dimensional, and the inconsistent dialogue constantly pull it away from its potential. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Stock characterizations and messy, contrivance-dependent plotting enervate the rest of the season.
