    Here is a series you want to like, if only it will let you.

    The show’s plots — standard suspense fare so far — are warm comfort food for mystery buffs.

    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.

    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]

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

    The Crossing Jordan team clearly meant well, but somehow their intentions fail to translate onscreen.

    Jordan may be many things, but nothing about it is interesting.

    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]

    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]
