Critic Reviews

Gloria Goodale

Season 1 Review: The series' unique angle lends itself to interesting psychological drama as it explores the hows and whys of hostage negotiation - even as it dishes out a heavy helping of FOX's de rigueur hoppin' hormones. Read full review

Mike Duffy

Season 1 Review: From start to finish, "Standoff" is slickly contrived, formulaic crime drama nonsense. Read full review

Nancy DeWolf Smith

Season 1 Review: The main thing in its favor is the chemical tension between its stars. That may not be enough, but it's something. Read full review

David Hinckley

Season 1 Review: These actors more than deserve a series of their own. They deserve a good one, and "Standoff" isn't it. Read full review

Aaron Barnhart

Season 1 Review: I’m having a reverse case of Stockholm Syndrome with “Standoff”: The more time I spend with it, the less I like it. Read full review

Maureen Ryan

Season 1 Review: "Standoff" isn't a terrible show, it's just an unnecessary one. Read full review

Tom Shales

Season 1 Review: It's hard to imagine a civilized audience of any significant size wanting to sit through these trumped-up conflicts and lazy-daisy crises week after week. Read full review
