A masterful portrayal of the bleakness of the decision-making process within the medical profession, Gideon's Crossing is challenging and arresting television. It's a cerebral approach to issues of healing and loss, made all the more dramatic by the presence of Andre Braugher. [9 Oct 2000, p.4]

Gideon's Crossing" has a fabulous actor -- Andre Braugher -- and some terrific writing by Paul Attanasio, who created but did not stay around for Braugher's last series, "Homicide: Life on the Street." With this combination, Gideon's Crossing could be the 12th doctor show on the schedule and still be worth your time. [10 Oct 2000, p.F1]

if you are a fan of Braugher's work in "Homicide" and you crave quality drama, this is a pilot you do not want to miss. [10 Oct 2000, p.1F]

Aside from the dismal possibility that Braugher's return to television could be a short one, should Gideon's Crossing fail, it would be a critical blow to shows that dare to be deep. [10 Oct 2000, p.2E]

Braugher is the rare actor who banks on control instead of pyrotechnics. And Ruben Blades gives him strong support as the hospital's administrator, Dr. Max Cabranes. [10 Oct 2000]

By making Ben Gideon the head of a teaching hospital, [Paul] Attanasio created the opportunity for Braugher to use his grave, grandly expressive voice to deliver long speeches to a classroom of awestruck medical students. Unfortunately, what Attanasio intends as a showcase — a gift to both his star and his audience — ends up making Gideon seem like a boring gasbag.

Gideon's Crossing is soulful and serious. It's also heavy-handed and ponderous, the equivalent of an hour with a philosophy grad student who just won't lighten up. [10 Oct 2000, p.C1]
