Season 1 Review: I’m not clairvoyant enough to know whether viewers will be too freaked to watch The Others a second time. Whatever happens to the show, there’s no doubt that it’s breakthrough television. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The supernatural genre is one of the toughest to crack in TV, but The Others appears to be a sharper, better produced entry than most of its predecessors. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The Others isn't an across-the-board success like The Sixth Sense. But it has its moments. And once you get past the sluggishness of the first episode, it's not half bad. [4 Feb 2000. p.1E]

Season 1 Review: Billingsley brings a gentleness to the role, making the character believable, decent and a surrogate for the audience. He watches The Others with amazement, and so will viewers. [4 Feb 2000]

Season 1 Review: It may sound like a third-, fourth- or fifteenth-cousin to Fox's "The X-Files"--and some of its producers did work on episodes of that series--but there's more to "The Others" than that. And its supernaturalism is rather good-natured, at least by comparison. Read full review
