Critic Reviews

Gloria Goodale

Edgy and dark, this is the shadow version of "The Waltons." Read full review

David Hinckley

If you relish the devious darkness of "Dexter" and the wonderful wackiness of "Weeds," you'll love the macabre moodiness of "Meadowlands." Read full review

Diane Werts

Fans of "The Sopranos" looking for a new Sunday-night must-see may find it here - though perhaps not fans driven to fits by that HBO hit's ambiguous conclusion. Read full review

Matthew Gilbert

Invitingly bizarre... [but] despite all the promise of its premise about the changeability of self, "Meadowlands" never quite rises to excellence. Read full review

Maureen Ryan

An intermittently interesting summer potboiler with a creepy "Twin Peaks"-meets-"American Beauty" vibe, with a little of "The Riches" thrown in for good measure. Read full review

Robert Lloyd

Whether or not they add up to much, the scenes play well, and there are enough heavy-breathing soap-operatics, random acts of violence and unanswered questions to keep one idly watching. Read full review

Ginia Bellafante

Nothing seems to bring it to life — not its obsession with voyeurism, its forays into cross-dressing, its objectification of the obese. Read full review

Superb, finally a TV show that creates a mood that lingers after the episode is watched....and my friends and I can't stop watching. Actors are magnificent. The Brogans feel like a real family, as do the Oglives and the rest. Can't wait to see Ninth episode....make it soon!
