Magnificent Seve" can't hold a candle to its cinematic predecessor, or to most of the old TV classics like Gunsmoke. But in a world where all the cowboys rode off into the sunset decades ago, we'll take a watered-down Western just fine, ma'am. [3 Jan 1998]
-
A few gun-notches below magnificent. [3 Jan 1998]
-
While it pales next to the original movie, it is an enjoyable Saturday-matinee-styled Western show with a charismatic cast and the potential for savvy plots reflecting the complications of race and violence in the post-Civil War West. [3 Jan 1998]
-
There's some nice moments in the premiere and great camaraderie. But it's stock stuff and you would hope for some invention. [31 Dec 1997]

A standard cowboys ‘n’ Indians, good vs. evil horse opera where good looks and good shots come together for the good of mankind.

Trying to be both sensitive and obstreperous, TV's Seven lacks a sure sense of itself, its audience— or even its history. ... The new Seven would be a lot better if its gang interacted more interestingly—more contentiously—with each other, and if its cast wasn't so uniformly youngish.

Most of the staples are there: the shootouts, flinty stares, purposeful strides through gunpowder smoke, tobacco spitting and rides into the sunset. What's missing is a little credibility. [2 Jan 1998]

An energetic attempt ... What there isn't, unfortunately, is enough character development to make you care about anybody or anything. [1 Jan 1998]
