Critic Reviews

Paige Wiser

Season 1 Review: Defying Gravity is taking its time to get off the ground, but I plan to tune in at least until Saturn. Read full review

Michael Starr

Season 1 Review: Gravity has an intriguing premise and its pacing--the action cuts back-and-forth between the present and five years in the past--heightens the drama and foreboding. Read full review

Whitney Pastorek

Season 1 Review: The first ep feels ridiculous; maybe it's the fact that despite being on a futuristic space mission, everyone acts like they're on "Private Practice." Then again, it's summer, and at least this isn't another cop/doctor show. Read full review

Alessandra Stanley

Season 1 Review: Defying Gravity, about four men and four women sent into orbit with entangled romantic pasts and removable libido-suppressing devices, has high-tech props and a spooky sci-fi mystery, but it is layered in feminine concerns and the mawkishly sentimental pop music that frames plot points on “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Private Practice.” Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Matt Roush

Season 1 Review: Gravity may be weighted down by cliche, but it’s not without interest. Read full review

Alan Sepinwall

Season 1 Review: Defying Gravity--an international production with American actors--feels too slight, or silly, to treat as anything but the cheap, disposable summer programming it is. Read full review

Heather Havrilesky

Season 1 Review: While I can understand why Parriott and Co. might be tempted to simply swap out the high-pressure hospital setting with a high-pressure intergalactic setting, the stupidity of Defying Gravity really knows no bounds. Read full review
