Season 1 Review: Messing is most agreeable, hitting her comedy marks and credible as supercop. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The problem isn't that Laura wants to show us that raising children and holding down a job is hard; it is. Unfortunately, what the show suggests is that it's impossible, and it seriously misjudges the humor quotient in that suggestion while miscalculating the effect it has on its main characters.

Season 1 Review: Trapped in the hour-long drama structure, the half-hour sitcom that The Mysteries of Laura might long to be never finds its footing. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Viewers who come to TV for smart, serious, sophisticated fare will likely hate this show while viewers just looking for something innocuous and entertaining will be more forgiving. Read full review

Brian Lowry

Sep 16, 2014

Season 1 Review: Whatever good will the series musters with its easy-going tone--which, the grimmer cop stuff notwithstanding, comes through in the family scenes and Laura’s banter with her partner (Laz Alonzo)--is squandered not only by the familiarity of its story beats but the haphazard way they’re thrown together, courtesy of writer-showrunner Jeff Rake, who adapted a Spanish series; and director McG, whose fast-paced style seems wasted on this material.

Season 1 Review: It's a bizarro comedy-cop procedural-mommy drama that does nothing well, and the murder mystery exceptionally badly. Read full review

Tim Goodman

Sep 17, 2014

Season 1 Review: It would be a maddening exercise to list all the elements in The Mysteries of Laura that are, at their core, asinine. Suffice it to say, avoid this at all costs. In a fall filled with bad new shows, it's one of the worst. Read full review
