New York PostLinda StasiJun 11, 2012
Season 1 Review: Thorne: Sleepyhead, has enough twists, turns, red herrings and multi-layered narrative to keep you couch-bound for its entire two hours. Read full review

New York Daily NewsDavid HinckleyJun 12, 2012
Season 1 Review: The result is intelligent if occasionally dense tales that focus on the hardest part of a detective's job, which is trying to outthink someone whose thinking is already, by definition, off-center. Read full review

Denver PostJoanne OstrowJun 7, 2012
Season 1 Review: The first film is well constructed to be unnerving; the second offers the sight of "Grey's" Dr. Yang toting a revolver. Both make for creepy-rich summer viewing. Read full review

Season 1 Review: In Sleepyhead, the better of the two, someone is killing women by inducing strokes....In Scaredy Cat the crimes are just as bizarre, though the outcome is more predictable. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Thorne isn't a powerhouse like "Luther," but if you enjoy crime fiction, it's fast-paced and well-acted enough to be worth your time. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The production has grit, yes, but for all its poking and prodding at what makes the title character and his quarry tick, Thorne never gets under your skin. Read full review
