Critic Reviews

Tanner Stransky

Season 1 Review: The winning Samurai has lots of action, and is generously peppered with comedic asides. [5 Sep 2008, p.70]

Linda Stasi

Season 1 Review: Its newest show, Samurai Girl, is an action-packed, three-night martial arts miniseries that introduces girls to the world of Asian action flicks. Read full review

Marilyn Moss

Season 1 Review: Although the drama is sometimes over the top and not always palpable, the action is nonstop. For that, "Samurai" will more than please action-adventure fans. Read full review

David Wiegand

Season 1 Review: The first two hours are decent. Read full review

Joanna Weiss

Season 1 Review: Samurai Girl takes up a lot of time and space, but manages to do only one surprising thing: prove that it's possible to be action-packed and dull at the same time. Read full review

Mike Hale

Season 1 Review: It needs a lot more moments like the one when the samurai girl bursts through a door to find her chauffeur on the verge of disemboweling himself. “Seriously?” she asks, eyeing the knife in his hands. “Seppuku?” Read full review

Staff (Not Credited)

Season 1 Review: Samurai Girl tries to spice things up visually with comicbook-style act breaks, but the fighting sequences would need to be staged more imaginatively to compensate for the various deficiencies, and frankly -- even with a few skewerings and a torture scene -- those shiny swords can do only so much damage on ABC Family Read full review
