Chicago Sun-TimesLon GrahnkeJun 6, 2014
Season 1 Review: Biehn's terse, tightly coiled performance and stirring music from Elmer Bernstein's original 1960 score enhance the "Magnificent" mystique. [2 Jan 1998]

Season 1 Review: If not exactly magnificent, it's still a well-executed traditional western. [31 Dec 1997]

Season 1 Review: The Magnificent Seven is sort of an odd mixture of 1990s political correctness and every cliche that's ever been played out in Western movies and TV shows. But, odder still, it all comes together in a rather enjoyable way. [2 Jan 1998]

Pittsburgh Post-GazetteRobert BiancoJun 6, 2014
Season 1 Review: Seven features an entertaining ensemble, a tongue-in-check approach and an attractive visual style that alternates between sweeping vistas and ultra-tight closeups. The sap and the male-bonding is sometimes a bit thick, but overall Seven is a clever update of an old TV genre - and a welcome break from TV's current glut of cops and docs. [2 Jan 1998]

Denver PostJoanne OstrowJun 6, 2014
Season 1 Review: The debut is cinematically beautiful, the cast is top-notch, the story is compelling, the characters distinct, the music stirring. The question is, why now? [30 Dec 1997]

Season 1 Review: Dozens of off-the-shelf cowboy cliches ... make this brand-new film seem so, so old. [3 Jan 1998]
