Season 1 Review: Hennessy is a cheering sight merely by virtue of her telegenic beauty, but in short order she's showing us beauty of that proverbial deeper kind. Read full review

Steve JohnsonMar 29, 2022

Season 1 Review: Crossing Jordan is marked by crisp, clever dialogue, reasonably plausible plotting and a brassy lead performance that would, if there were justice, make viewers forget about the soft-focus females in Judging Amy and Providence. [24 Sep 2001]

John CarmanMar 29, 2022

Season 1 Review: The medical drama is leavened by some nice comic flourishes. Read full review

Staff (Not Credited)Mar 29, 2022

Season 1 Review: The mystery in the first episode contains some nice reverses, and the fact that it's not quite resolved in the end promises that "Jordan" at least intends to deliver something more than the rote 60-minute mystery of less-ambitious cop shows. [24 Sep 2001]

Caryn JamesMar 29, 2022

Season 1 Review: This new series is less sappy than Providence and less graphic than C.S.I. And Ms. Hennessy gives Jordan an appealing, loose-cannon attitude, a long way from the buttoned-down assistant district attorney she played on Law and Order. Read full review

Phil GalloMar 29, 2022

Season 1 Review: Stories shouldn’t end as neatly as the one in the pilot — Jordan’s transition from apparently homeless to superwoman moves faster than a speeding bullet — but [Hennessy] has the talent to carry this show by her lonesome. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The hokum factor is pretty high, but Hennessy is a nice combination of pert and sour, her primary co-stars are solid and the premise is functional. [24 Sep 2001]
