Season 1 Review: An appealing cast and a flashy production style bolster familiar material. Read full review

Pittsburgh Post-GazetteRob Owen
Season 1 Review: There's nothing gritty or particularly realistic about ABC's Women's Murder Club, but that's OK. The show is an entertaining, estrogen-powered hour regardless. Read full review

New York Magazine (Vulture)John Leonard
Season 1 Review: Laura Harris as Jill Bernhardt, the platinum-blonde district attorney, Paula Newsome as Claire Washburn, the surprisingly jolly medical examiner, and Aubrey Dollar as Cindy Thomas, the impossibly young newspaper reporter, do not add up to a Kaffeeklatsch or a therapy group. I’m not saying that they don’t occasionally discuss emotions (usually Angie/Lindsay’s), but it’s more grad-school seminar than touchy-feely hot-tub hangout. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterRay Richmond
Season 1 Review: WMC--that's what the hip people will no doubt soon be calling it--sprints energetically from the gate carrying genuine qualitative heft: charismatic leads, snappy dialogue and an agreeable blend of lighthearted and dramatic. Read full review

Kansas City StarAaron Barnhart
Season 1 Review: Sharply written, compellingly acted, this is the crime procedural ABC has needed all along, one for the “Grey’s Anatomy” crowd. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesMary McNamara
Season 1 Review: The show looks to be a smart, stylish crime drama that just happens to revolve around a group of women as so many have revolved around men. Read full review

New York Daily NewsDavid Hinckley
Season 1 Review: While the crime itself is only moderately intriguing, its real function is to let viewers see what each of these women does, how they work together and how they talk to each other. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyGillian Flynn
Season 1 Review: Neither self-serious nor campy, the new ABC police drama is just what I've been craving amid all the businesslike "Law & Orders" and "CSIs." Read full review

USA TodayRobert Bianco
Season 1 Review: It would be nice if the exposition were less clunky and the show did more to capture what is special about its San Francisco setting. Still, the actors are enjoyable, and their series in large part does what it sets out to do. Read full review
