    The acting seems alittle off a first but youl get used to it. Some eposides have action and some don't. Over-all its worth watching if you have nothing better to do.

    Another crime drama, but this one has a gimmick. Its relationship with and use of mathematics is merely superficial jargon. Meh. Don't watch this, there must be something better for you to do.

    A mathematics professor is employed by the Californian branch of the FBI to help solve crimes.
    There can’t be a more common genre on TV than police procedural, and whilst Numbers provides a slightly different twist, one season was enough for me to feel like I’d seen everything it has to offer.

    The major stumbling block remains that it's odd to contemplate seeking algorithmic solutions to crimes or having a guy who got beat up a lot in high school answering 911 calls. So even with Charlie functioning as a kind of adjunct to the bureau, it's muddled how they'll consistently capitalize on his abilities. [17 Jan 2005]

    No matter how often we're told how unbearably fascinating it all is, it isn't. It's more likely to trigger horrifying flashbacks to algebra class. [22 Jan 2005]

    'Numb3rs' is strained... You can practically hear them groaning with effort as they milk the action potential out of a brainstorming nerd banging his chalk against a blackboard la 'A Beautiful Mind.'
