Robert Bianco

Season 1 Review: Convincingly smart, realistically unsettled and sexy as all get-out, Gugino radiates so much TV star power, it just might be visible from outer space. Read full review

David Hinckley

Season 1 Review: It has everything you want from such a show: quirky characters, gifted actors, a captivating central story - and questions that leave you not only wanting more, but hungry for it. Read full review

Hal Boedeker

Season 1 Review: Of the three [alien invasion series], this CBS series boasts the best light show. It has assembled the strongest cast. Above all, it establishes the most involving story and the one most likely to bring viewers back the following week. Read full review

Alessandra Stanley

Season 1 Review: "Threshold" holds back more than it reveals, and that is the right contingency plan for a successful science fiction thriller. Read full review

Robert Abele

Season 1 Review: This is a series about whip-smart heroes, with an outbreak to contain each week, usually involving quick action, rapid analysis and fast wit. Read full review

Linda Stasi

Season 1 Review: The premise is fun, but if this is CBS' attempt at "Lost," then they are, if not totally lost, certainly in need of a map. And a new writer. Some of the dialogue is laugh-out-loud bad. Read full review

Jonathan Storm

Season 1 Review: There's nothing inviting about the ponderous Threshold. Portentous music plays. Scared smart guys, rounded up by the government to figure out what's really happening, say smart-guy stupid stuff. Read full review
