    Odd as The Beat may seem on first glance, it's of a piece with the rest of Fontana's work, which aims to shake up TV storytelling by any means necessary. [21 March 2000, p.37]

    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.
