Season 1 Review:
A charismatic star (Law & Order veteran Jesse L. Martin) and an intriguing premise. The puzzles are also unusually perplexing. .... And yet Martin never sheds his cool-cat persona. [25 Sep - 15 Oct 2023, p.14]

Season 1 Review:
It’s possible the show will have surer footing in the weeks to come, but as of now, The Irrational commits the cardinal sin of any expertise-driven procedural—the audience feels a step or two ahead of the writing. We can see the moves it’s trying to make a mile off.

Season 1 Review:
The Irrational is a pretty average network procedural. The NBC series, which premieres September 25, has all the necessary elements of a cop show, even if it’s not a traditional crime drama like one of the network’s biggest hits, Law & Order: SVU. It still sticks to a well-established genre formula, though.
