Newark Star-LedgerAlan Sepinwall
Season 1 Review: Like all the Bruckheimer procedurals... you know what you're getting from the jump: solid but unspectacular acting and storytelling that will leave you satisfied without rocking your world. Read full review

Pittsburgh Post-GazetteRob Owen
Season 1 Review: The pieces may be familiar, but there are enough new elements that prevent this series from feeling like a total rip-off. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterBarry Garron
Season 1 Review: Despite the intense look at the legal process, the show moves quickly. Read full review

Kansas City StarAaron Barnhart
Season 1 Review: [It] makes defense work look as sexy as anything on the high-tech "CSI." Read full review

The New York TimesAlessandra Stanley
Season 1 Review: Imagine what “Boston Legal” would look like if Jerry Bruckheimer were in charge instead of David E. Kelley. Read full review

Chicago TribuneMaureen Ryan
Season 1 Review: Despite its jittery camerawork and souped-up graphics, "Justice" is just a reasonably well-made, meat-and-potatoes lawyer show. Read full review

Wall Street JournalDorothy Rabinowitz
Season 1 Review: "Justice" chugs along nicely, its plots gratifyingly tense, its dialogue sharp and uncluttered. Read full review

TimeJames Poniewozik
Season 1 Review: Justice's legal cases are not especially shocking or original, and the supporting characters are empty suits. But it's fascinating to watch for its style. Read full review

San Jose Mercury News/Contra Costa TimesCharlie McCollum
Season 1 Review: "Justice" is slick, fast-paced and stylish, with enough twists to separate it from the glut of shows in its genre. But it's also one of the most extraordinarily cynical shows to come along in some time. Read full review

Seattle Post-IntelligencerMelanie McFarland
Season 1 Review: With the unvarnished truth dangling like a carrot before a carthorse, there's ample reason for crime-show junkies to cling to "Justice," although some mysteries will be more worth seeing through to the end than others. Read full review

Detroit Free PressMike Duffy
Season 1 Review: "Justice" offers slick, efficiently produced whodunit escapism without a whit of real originality or dramatic spontaneity. Read full review

New York PostLinda Stasi
Season 1 Review: The format is what carries the day. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleTim Goodman
Season 1 Review: The real problem with "Justice" is that the series is very average. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesRobert Lloyd
Season 1 Review: For all its apparent technical accuracy and some real-world name-dropping, "Justice" feels no more lifelike than "Perry Mason." Read full review

NewsdayVerne Gay
Season 1 Review: While neither awful nor even particularly bad, there is an earnest silliness to the whole thing. Read full review
