I admit that by the end of the third episode, I had begun to warm to the series' central characters - in spite of the show's style, certainly not because if it. But The Beat has no right to expect weekly viewers to be so persistent or so forgiving. [21 March 2000]

The net result is a buddy show that is long on youth appeal and chemistry but short on character depth and texture.

Los Angeles Daily NewsNov 26, 2019The Beat, Fontana's UPN cop show, won't be mistaken for a good series, but it's better than a lot of the junk polluting UPN's airwaves. Of course, its sophisticated flourishes may just be enough to sail the show over the heads of the netlet's pubescent target audience, and its pandering touches will be enough to alienate more discerning viewers.

The Beat needs more reinforcements because the main characters aren't strong enough to carry a show. Andre Braugher had more help on Homicide.
