Season 1 Review: There’s enough intrigue to some of the time travel-related ones for me to keep watching. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleDavid WiegandMar 2, 2017
Season 1 Review: Logic isn’t a factor here, but the show is fun, rather evocative of ABC’s canceled “Forever” and the aforementioned “Timeless.” Read full review

St. Louis Post-DispatchGail PenningtonMar 2, 2017
Season 1 Review: This new Time After Time, charming and engaging, does the very best thing it could do: It respects (and doesn’t ruin) the movie. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyJeff JensenFeb 21, 2017
Season 1 Review: The well-acted pilot is winningly old-fashioned, but the pull remains unclear. [24 Feb/3 Mar 2017, p.93]

Season 1 Review: With Time After Time he’s struck a balance between honest emotional resonance and salacious violence. Strangely enough, this combination makes this midseason series more charming and enjoyable than one would expect. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesRobert LloydMar 6, 2017
Season 1 Review: When Stevenson trawls a nightclub looking for a victim, it feels anything but fresh, and it’s suspenseful in the most mechanical way. It's the "Dawson's Creek" Williamson who’s the more valuable here; the romance and the comedy are what keep the series buoyant. Read full review

The Salt Lake TribuneScott D. PierceMar 3, 2017
Season 1 Review: The first couple of hours are very entertaining. Which isn't surprising, given that the show is basically just cribbed from a very entertaining movie. The question is how this premise is going to hold up starting in Episode 2 (which was not screened for critics). Read full review

Season 1 Review: This is supposed to be a cat-and-mouse game, but it's more like a kitten with a ball of yarn. Read full review

USA TodayRobert BiancoMar 3, 2017
Season 1 Review: Time is an attempt to put a new twist on a conventional network-TV mystery series, and on its own minor terms, it largely works, The cast is attractive, the story is told with some wit, and the first hour, at least, moves along nicely. The main problem is one that haunts many such adaptations: The story still seems better suited to a movie (which it was) than a series. Read full review
