Critic Reviews

Linda Stasi

Despite the fact that it revolves around standard-issue teens with troubled, rich parents, it pushes the formula a few steps . . . make that several steps farther. Read full review

Glenn Garvin

A soapy delight of hard bodies and dirty doings. Read full review

Robert Lloyd

While much of it is silly, corny or clichéd and relies more on easy effects — the power ballad, the overwrought sex scene — than on the subtle explorations of people and place that the pilot seems to promise, the series is, on the whole, highly digestible summer fun. Read full review

Gillian Flynn

Even the dialogue is mediocre, a surprise coming from Williamson. Read full review

Brian Lowry

To the producers' credit, this storyline advances fairly rapidly; it's just not that engaging or surprising. Read full review

Barry Garron

Mostly silly, pretentious, soap opera-style TV with an escapist mentality and the subtlety of an avalanche. Read full review

Tom Shales

You're likely to find more fascinating figures and intriguing dramatis personae in the latest catalogue from J. Peterman, and somehow Peterman comes off as more emotionally authentic. Read full review

Critics of this show are clearly paid shills whose agenda have nothing to do with what was shown. Hidden Palms is a winner and will be with us for many seasons. The only real question is "Who killed Eddie?" OK, one more. "Is Amber Heard married?" Watch, enjoy and tell a friend.… Expand
