Critic Reviews

Season 1 Review:
Smartly and humorously written, spiced with cartoonish mayhem and over-the-top acting, it visually resembles the "Dick Tracy" and "Batman" movies, deals in the sort of speculative scientific fantasy that distinguished "Quantum Leap" and the miniseries "Wild Palms," and provides ... escapist fun. [19 Mar 1994]

Season 1 Review:
RoboCop - The Series works well as a mass-market show. ... It offers action, as opposed to violence. And its ironic humor, though not as hard-edged as the movies', has a sly, subversive bent. [19 Mar 1994]

Season 1 Review:
Combines explosive, stylized violence with stinging social commentary and surgical strokes of sharp media satire. [17 Mar 1994]

Season 1 Review:
This is a far campier and cartoonier RoboCop than the original. Even when the wit is blunt, the writing is snappy; and the acting is just broad enough to poke a little fun at itself. [16 Mar 1994]

Season 1 Review:
The best parts of this sleek but scaled-down show are what made the first film such an unexpected gas back in 1987: cartoonish mayhem, puns and visual gags, a cheeky tweaking of TV "infotainment" and a cheerful cynicism about a corporate culture grown even more mendacious on the back of the computer chip. [14 Mar 1994]

Season 1 Review:
[The] pilot ... is cleverly campy enough to rate a revisit. [13 Mar 1994]

Season 1 Review:
Without the aid of a fast-forward button, I simply wouldn't have been able to watch it from beginning to end. But I think my 4-year-old would like it. [11 Mar 1994]

Season 1 Review:
The stylized, overdrawn characterizations aspire to humor, but RoboCop has more iron than irony. [18 Mar 1994]

Season 1 Review:
Though tonight's two-hour premiere episode is fat with special effects and looks far richer than most TV shows, the concept is already red with rust. ... [The] sense of humor is about as subtle as a whoopee cushion. [18 Mar 1994]
