    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.

    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]

    The medical drama is leavened by some nice comic flourishes.

    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]

    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.

    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.

    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]

    Hennessy has the strength to be a leading lady, but she's up to her neck in ghoulishness.

    Hennessy has the feistiness the lead role requires, and Miguel Ferrer bears watching as her tense, neurotic supervisor. Too bad the first couple of cases were too easily cracked.
