Season 1 Review: Timecop doesn't boggle the mind. It's merely a bog. You could write this adventure yourself. [22 Sept 1997, p.3D]

Season 1 Review: As time-travel stories go, Timecop is strictly by-the-numbers. [22 Sept 1997, p.E1]

Orlando SentinelHal BoedekerMay 8, 2014
Season 1 Review: It doesn't help that the hero is tediously macho and wisecracking. But then Timecop diminishes history into a silly, trivial adventure with a few jazzy special effects. [21 Sept 1997, p.F1]

Chicago TribuneSteve JohnsonMay 8, 2014
Season 1 Review: There is only so much time in a day, and Timecop, unless your only demand is for a lightweight diversion, fails to make a sufficient case for one-twenty-fourth of it. [22 Sept 1997, p.3C]

Season 1 Review: Enjoying Timecop either requires putting your mind entirely into neutral or simply deciding to suspend a lot of disbelief. I couldn't suspend enough, so I wound up worrying about little things like why the folks of Victorian London, which he visits in tonight's opener, don't think Logan's spiky 1997 haircut is one bit peculiar. [22 Sept 1997]

Season 1 Review: No flying feet, nor much blood here, nor much excitement either. [22 Sept 1997]
