USA Today

Season 1 Review: There are some remarkably good actors going to waste here, most of whom will no doubt wipe this showoff their résumé the moment they get the chance. Read full review

Newsday

Season 1 Review: There's no reason to pile on here, but this show needed many more months of gestation before getting thrown to the wolves. Read full review

Matthew Gilbert

Season 1 Review: Mercy is a bunch of played-out hospital cliches placed together in hopes of being the next “Grey’s.’’ Read full review

Newark Star-Ledger

Philadelphia Daily News

Season 1 Review: When it comes to Mercy, they (and we) should probably expect none. Read full review

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Season 1 Review: Unlike "Jackie," nothing in Mercy feels real or believable, particularly the naivete of the recent grad student newbie nurse, who acts as if she's never been in a hospital. Read full review
