Gloria Goodale

It's good, complicated drama, sometimes hard to watch, but more compelling evidence that the best storytelling for adults these days is on the small screen. Read full review

Glenn Garvin

Intense and fascinating. Read full review

Robert Abele

Because Hopper can radically rejigger events for better or worse -- a decision that prevents one disaster might cause another - Day Break... feels like the first video-game-era series. Read full review

Ellen Gray

As much fun as it might be for some of us to start our Wednesday nights watching a shirtless Taye Diggs get out of bed - just as it was once fun to watch Agents Mulder and Scully chase goblins and ghosties and things that go bump in the night - these TV conspiracies have a way of ending badly.

Paul Brownfield

You begin to feel strung along on an errand whose complexities can't mask the fact that the main character isn't great company. Read full review

Tom Shales

Intriguing and confounding though it is, this is anything but easy, funsy television. In fact, there are times when a viewer may feel he's being punished almost to the same degree as Detective Hopper. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Matt Roush

The season's silliest new action-fantasy-adventure. Read full review

I don't lightly give this show a 10 but, considering that I was entranced for the entire 2 hour premiere, I'd say it deserves it. The action was taut, the actors are engaging & well-cast, and the storyline is shaping up to be really cool. Yeah, I was worried it would be a bad I don't lightly give this show a 10 but, considering that I was entranced for the entire 2 hour premiere, I'd say it deserves it. The action was taut, the actors are engaging & well-cast, and the storyline is shaping up to be really cool. Yeah, I was worried it would be a bad mashup of Ground Hog Day and your typical crime drama but I didn't find that to be the case at all. Is the story wrapped all up for you in a nice little package at the end of the episode? Nope, but I wouldn't really want it to be. I've enjoyed the show so far and, for me at least with the kind of tv I enjoy, it's as much about the journey as the destination. Enjoy this twisted ride folks.
