New York Magazine (Vulture)Matt Zoller SeitzJan 31, 2013
Season 1 Review: Do No Harm's biggest fault, besides lackluster dialogue, is its overall air of deep insecurity, a quality that's unfortunately too common on network dramas. Read full review

The Detroit NewsTom LongFeb 1, 2013
Season 1 Review: This show is so far-fetched it makes "24" look like political reporting and "Lost" seem like a nature documentary. Read full review

Slant MagazineMike LechevallierJan 30, 2013
Season 1 Review: Do No Harm is very busy and very dumb, lobbing ridiculous obstacles at Jason at full speed, both in the workplace (the onslaught of unidentifiable hospital jargon rivals House at its most ludicrous) and at home (Ian ostensibly shattered Jason's marriage by beating his wife).

TV Guide MagazineMatt RoushJan 31, 2013
Season 1 Review: A laughable medical thriller that does irreparable harm to one's belief in such storytelling staples as logic and credibility. Read full review

Washington PostHank StueverJan 31, 2013
Season 1 Review: Pasquale gives the Jason/Ian role his best shot, but he is dragged down by the bad writing and ridiculous transition from good guy to bad guy. Read full review

Zap2it (Inside the Box)Andrea ReiherJan 31, 2013
Season 1 Review: The Cole/Price problem just continues to come across as ridiculous, rather than serious. It doesn't keep the viewer invested in the character at all. Read full review
