Season 1 Review: Here is a series you want to like, if only it will let you. Read full review

Ken TuckerMar 29, 2022

Season 1 Review: The show’s plots — standard suspense fare so far — are warm comfort food for mystery buffs. Read full review

Season 1 Review: As a combination of Providence (prodigal daughter comes home) and C.S.I. (crime investigators let science do the heavy lifting), Crossing Jordan is less sappy than the former, not nearly as cool as the latter. Read full review

Season 3 Review: 'Jordan' has always had the comforting vibe of an Applebee's: The menu's solid; the staff is competent; and the end result, while never dazzling, certainly does the job. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Crossing Jordan...is surely one of the shakier crime vehicles of the season, with contrived murder plots that should be returned to the factory. [24 Sep 2001]

Amy AmatangeloMar 29, 2022

Season 1 Review: The only show with kinky father-daughter conversations. And no, that's not a good thing. [24 Sep 2001]

Staff (Not Credited)Mar 29, 2022

Season 1 Review: The Crossing Jordan team clearly meant well, but somehow their intentions fail to translate onscreen. Read full review

Robert BiancoMar 29, 2022

Season 1 Review: Jordan may be many things, but nothing about it is interesting. Read full review

Hal BoedekerMar 29, 2022

Season 1 Review: Mostly, Crossing Jordan comes off like a lighter, jokier version of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, last season's surprise hit. The triteness engulfs appealing Hennessy and her co-stars. [16 Sep 2001, p.4]

Rob OwenMar 29, 2022

Season 1 Review: Although I'm wise enough not to cross Jordan, I don't really want to watch more of this formula-driven show. [24 Sep 2001]
