Entertainment WeeklyJeff Jensen
Season 1 Review: Familiar, formulaic fun, but one night too long. [9 Dec 2005, p.81]

USA TodayRobert Bianco
Season 1 Review: Triangle boasts an attractive cast and some clever twists, but it often has to stretch to fill time. Read full review

People WeeklyTom Gliatto
Season 1 Review: The narrative seems unduly baggy and stretched out, nothing so sharply defined as a triangle. More like a rhomboid. [12 Dec 2005, p.39]

Philadelphia InquirerEllen Gray
Season 1 Review: Amusingly, head-spinningly over-the-top. Read full review

Pittsburgh Post-GazetteRob Owen
Season 1 Review: Somewhere within this bloated six-hour miniseries there's a lean, mean four-hour miniseries trying to escape. Read full review

The New York TimesNed Martel
Season 1 Review: The plot knots are Gordian, but the writer, Rockne S. O'Bannon, successfully picks them apart. What suffers is the dialogue, which often strains to explain all the science in offhand conversation. Read full review

VarietyBrian Lowry
Season 1 Review: A solid cast and marquee auspices make this effects-heavy exercise watchable enough even when "The Triangle" grows obtuse. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineMatt Roush
Season 1 Review: An entertaining mishmash that uneasily juggles jargony sci-fi theories with elements of military conspiracy, action-adventure, disaster movie and surreal psychological suspense.

Los Angeles TimesRobert Lloyd
Season 1 Review: That the story... snakes around a lot, tossing supernatural red herrings in its wake, keeps it oddly compelling, even as it grows increasingly preposterous, not only as regards the supernatural but as to how people really act. Read full review

Boston GlobeMatthew Gilbert
Season 1 Review: The miniseries is an ordinary but not awful piece of science fiction, one you won't hate watching and yet one you shouldn't hate missing. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterRay Richmond
Season 1 Review: Creepily watchable almost in spite of itself through at least the first two nights, the miniseries embodies a veritable symphony of implausibility. Read full review

Seattle Post-IntelligencerMelanie McFarland
Season 1 Review: Around 11 p.m. on Wednesday, you'll be asking yourself what the hell happened. Read full review

New York Daily NewsDavid Hinckley
Season 1 Review: The questions posed by "The Triangle" are fascinating. But the answers are - sometimes literally - a waste of time. Read full review

Chicago TribuneMaureen Ryan
Season 1 Review: More or less a soggy misfire. Read full review

Miami HeraldGlenn Garvin
Season 1 Review: An abysmally dumb plot peopled with some of the most irritating characters in the history of television. Read full review
