Season 1 Review: In the long run, it's a good bet that NBC's new crime drama The Endgame is going to prove infuriatingly terrible. But for now, it's electrifying. It's the crack of television, except you don't need a pipe, just a remote. Read full review

Season 1 Review: For now, "The Endgame" makes enough of the right moves to inspire curiosity about where this intricate scheme ultimately leads. While it doesn't tell you much about its endgame, as this sort of exercise goes, that's a good place to start. Read full review

New York Magazine (Vulture)Roxana HadadiFeb 21, 2022
Season 1 Review: NBC’s conceptually familiar, narratively overambitious, and yet somehow still enjoyable The Endgame, which defies easy dismissal thanks to the uncontainable charisma of Morena Baccarin. Read full review

Season 1 Review: It all looks quite sleek and impressive, but even after just two episodes, Elena’s ability to pull off the impossible out of nowhere begins to get old. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The Endgame feels like it wants to be a little crazy, and it's straining against its self-imposed strictures. Read full review

Season 1 Review: I don't much care about the endgame, but how it all started has its moments. [28 Feb - 13 Mar 2022, p.7] Read full review

DeciderJoel KellerFeb 21, 2022
Season 1 Review: The Endgame is by turns boring and by other turns generic and nonsensical. It’s story isn’t compelling enough to follow beyond the first episode, and we’re figuring that the interplay between its stars isn’t enough to keep people watching. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterDaniel FienbergFeb 21, 2022
Season 1 Review: The Endgame pilot is bad and the second episode offers no evidence of course correction to make things better, so I’m prepared to move on, even if NBC wasn’t. ... An obvious dud. Read full review
