Critic Reviews

It doesn't happen very often that halfway into the pilot for a new show, you're already looking forward to subsequent episodes just to find out more about the characters you've glimpsed in the first few minutes. Read full review

Hal Boedeker

The Evidence needs more distinctive twists to stand out in the overpopulated crime lineup. Read full review

Robert Bianco

Even if The Evidence were the first show of its kind, it would still be mediocre. Read full review

Doug Elfman

It demonstrates how a show can be a run-of-the-mill cop drama despite a talented cast and a few interesting twists. Read full review

Matthew Gilbert

I thought the show had flashes of a Dragnet pace and theme that set it apart from the tired and overutilized CSI or Law & Order approaches!
