Critic Reviews

Misha Davenport

Season 1 Review: Though the characters on this show, premiering Friday on CBS, are relatable and watchable, the slow pace might prove to be too much of a cultural divide for an American audience used to the quick cuts and immediate resolve seen on American cop shows. Read full review

David Hinckley

Season 1 Review: It's more nuanced than the average cop drama, and for that reason, more intriguing. Read full review

Robert Lloyd

Season 1 Review: It has an appealing modesty that survives its bouts of aesthetic overexcitement--the occasionally lurching camera, hammering soundtrack, the sentimental pop song laid over the last couple of minutes as the principals silently end a long, hard day. Read full review

Linda Stasi

Season 1 Review: The best part of this show is the acting, which is generally excellent - particularly that of Hugh Dillon as Ed Lane, the conscience-riddled sharpshooter. Too bad the writing isn't as on-target as Lane's high-powered automatic. Read full review

Verne Gay

Season 1 Review: The first half is tautly produced, before there's a dramatic--and dramatically dull--downshift that'll get you ready for beddy-bye. Read full review

Matthew Gilbert

Season 1 Review: It goes through the motions quite competently and respectably. But it is nonetheless merely re-creating crime-series moves we've all seen many times before, with only the faintest afterimage of originality. Read full review

Season 1 Review: If it had something truly new or provocative to say about such matters, the essential redundancy of Flashpoint could be overlooked--but it doesn't, and so it can't. These good guys are too good for their own good. And ours. Read full review
