Critic Reviews

75 New York Daily News David Hinckley
A squirt of soap serves this show well.
60 Orlando Sentinel Hal Boedeker
From the premiere, it's hard to gauge this uneven show. It merits several more looks.
50 Los Angeles Times Robert Lloyd
It's a somber, often leaden affair, beset with stiff dialogue.
50 The New York Times Anita Gates
It would be nice if Angela’s persona were truly distinctive, but, played by Ms. Spencer, she may turn out to be just another very pretty face.
40 Hollywood Reporter Barry Garron
Put simply, Spencer lacks the heft for the role.
38 People Weekly Tom Gliatto
The acting in the kickoff episode is awfully anemic, and that's no lie. [24 Jul 2006, p.33]
30 Variety Brian Lowry
Silly, poorly cast and full of clunky dialogue.
25 Entertainment Weekly Lynette Rice
[A] shameless rip-off of TNT's The Closer. [14 Jul 2006, p.77]
25 New York Post Linda Stasi
One of the silliest shows to rear its dopey head this year.
20 TV Guide Matt Roush
Painfully derivative.
10 Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Rob Owen
Go to bed early tonight. Your eyes will thank you for avoiding Lifetime's preposterous "Eyes."
