Sep 20, 2013
The character and the show sneak up on you in clever, unexpected ways and prove a gratifying surprise. [25 Sept 2001, p.C01]
Sep 19, 2013
It's an engaging set-up for what will likely be a hit,
since it was obviously designed to complement the social-service
minded "Judging Amy." [25 Sept 2001, p.E1]
Sep 20, 2013
What emerges is a drama that is solid, though not spectacular, and a star more charismatic than complicated. [24 Sept 2001]
Sep 19, 2013
The Guardian is a chilling, state-of-America show, pointedly devoted to the question, "What is a meaningful life?" Simon Baker is galvanizing as the hero, intense and hard to read. This is what he's meant to be, but as to whether The Guardian and this tortured angel of a corporate lawyer will be a hit with viewers, it is impossible to say in these days of war and retribution. [25 Sept 2001, p.R2]
Sep 19, 2013
Despite two great character actors as support--Alan Rosenberg runs the legal clinic and Dabney Coleman is the dad--this manipulative and cloying series neither rings true nor strikes the emotional chords it all too transparently wants to pluck. [25 Sept 2001, p.47]

I swear I have no idea what The Guardian is supposed to be about. But I don't think the producers or CBS do, either. [25 Sept 2001, p.3E]
