Critic Reviews

David Hinckley

"Raines" not only deserves an audience - with any luck at all, it deserves a renewal, and a firm spot on NBC's fall schedule. Read full review

Robert Bianco

Intriguing and involving, if sometimes odd for oddness' sake alone, Raines is a novel twist on one of TV's oldest formats: the single, super-intuitive detective. Read full review

Verne Gay

"Raines" is both thoroughly conventional and thoroughly unconventional; in fact, it often revels in its conventionality. Read full review

Nancy DeWolf Smith

All of this might seem silly if it weren't for Mr. Goldblum. Read full review

Tom Gliatto

It's a hallucinatory riff on an old noir tradition (is Raines being played for a sap by his own daydreams?), but the gimmick doesn't click. [19 Mar 2007, p.39]

Jonathan Storm

Nothing really wrong with Raines, but not much reason to watch, either. Read full review

Charlie McCollum

All this talent can't make the premise - a police detective talks to murder victims - work. Read full review
