The Lincoln Journal StarJeff KorbelikMar 27, 2014
Season 1 Review: The good thing about procedurals is you can come and go and not miss much. The bad thing about procedurals is you can come and go and not miss much. Holloway, though, should be enough to keep you coming back. Read full review

Boston HeraldMark A. PerigardJan 7, 2014
Season 1 Review: Holloway looks leaner than his Sawyer days and cleans up nice. Ory, such a spitfire on ABC’s “Once Upon a Time” as both Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf, seems tamed here, and unfortunately, a little dull. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesMary McNamaraJan 7, 2014
Season 1 Review: Breathlessly paced and festooned with some pretty groovy computer graphics--the chip allows Holloway to walk through scenes of past destruction in his mind--Intelligence isn't trying to be anything more than what it obviously is. The show is a panoply of familiar elements anchored by a new and attractive leading man. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Cast, concept, execution--there's a lot to root for in Intelligence. But they'll be pushing a big rock up the hill week after week. Read full review

VarietyBrian LowryJan 6, 2014
Season 1 Review: For all the talk about tech, nothing here reinvents the wheel, but the action is crisp and the dialogue breezy. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyJeff JensenJan 2, 2014
Season 1 Review: The pilot sets up some promising intrigue but plays like the lowest-common-denominator version of itself: muscular action, a cutout Chinese villain, a rote twist, lots of Josh. Get smarter, please. [10 Jan 2013, p.66] Read full review

USA TodayRobert BiancoJan 6, 2014
Season 1 Review: Intelligence may not be the most exciting show the new year will bring, but it is the kind of weekly adventure/mystery CBS does well--one that tells you what it is up front and is smart enough to deliver on most of what it promises. Read full review
