The show seems faster, brighter and more entertaining than most of the serials that beat it to the punch this fall. |

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Rob Owen
An action-packed adrenaline rush. |

The New York Times Alessandra Stanley
The first episode of “Traveler” is well made and quite gripping. |

Los Angeles Times Mary McNamara
It's all very tense and fun, underscored by sirens and ominous techno music, shot in that popular, over-caffeinated jumpiness that here at least makes sense. |

Newsday Diane Werts
A pretty nifty, if completely insane, suspense/conspiracy/ chase/road adventure. |

Variety Brian Lowry
The premiere plays like a solid thriller. |

New York Post Linda Stasi
The action is fast and sometimes even compelling, if not entirely believable - or even a little believable. |

Chicago Tribune Maureen Ryan
Another workmanlike, reasonably decent thriller. |

Washington Post Tom Shales
The show... can easily be enjoyed simply as a fairly proficient thriller, pushing the kind of buttons that Alfred Hitchcock used to push with such films as "North by Northwest" -- although here they're pushed with much less artfulness and finesse. |

Like so many current serials, [it] requires viewers to buy into the idea that its heroes have no choice but to do very unobvious things. |

Orlando Sentinel Hal Boedeker
After 24, Lost, Heroes and Prison Break, prime time is overstocked with such sprawling, demanding plots. |

Baltimore Sun David Zurawik
The problem is, at the end of the pilot, one simply doesn't care enough about Jay and Tyler to go on the lam with them each week. |

Boston Globe Matthew Gilbert
Alas, show creator David DiGilio forgot to put distinct personalities on his fast-moving bodies. |

Chicago Sun-Times Doug Elfman
The debut episode isn't so bad. The action is fairly taut, except for a dumb foot chase. The direction is tight, despite a few improbable twists. |

Hollywood Reporter Ray Richmond
You have to suspend an awful lot of disbelief to buy into this premise, and even at that the protagonists aren't nearly compelling enough to care a lot about. |

Philadelphia Inquirer Jonathan Storm
I'm already committed to Prison Break. One cockamamy chase show is all my unaddled brain can handle. |

New York Daily News David Hinckley
Nothing to see. |
