Season 1 Review: [A] brilliant, layered cops-and-robbers series -- the best since NYPD Blue. [27 Oct 1996]

Marvin Kitman

Jul 12, 2013

Season 1 Review: The best new drama of the season, the only one of the 44 new shows that could join "Law & Order," "Homicide," "NYPD Blue," "Murder One" in the pantheon of quality shows. [11 Oct 1996]

Gail Pennington

Jul 18, 2013

Season 1 Review: A fascinating and challenging new drama series. [27 Oct 1996]

David Zurawik

Jul 18, 2013

Season 1 Review: There is some room for debate as to whether it is the best or only the second best new drama of the season, but there is no doubt it is the most daring. [26 Oct 1996]

Tom Shales

Jul 18, 2013

Season 1 Review: It's achy, moody, glum, stylized and almost criminally pretentious. ... All the performances seem mannered. The show is plagued with arch, actorly acting, the kind that rings false and calls attention to its own falseness. ... Already some critics have hailed the show as a breakthrough. True enough -- it's a breakthrough from tedium into torpor. [27 Oct 1996]
