90A gaspingly funny show that you ought to watch early and often.
-
88The show's appeal is its breezy verbiage and well-suited cast.
-
70The Practice should have been this much fun.
-
70Part improbable comedy, part unrealistic drama, "Head Cases" is nonetheless a clever series that gets incredible mileage out of its two central characters.
-
63A show with a promising premise that could be a winner.
-
60"Head Cases" might have more of a chance if it gets a little bit sharper, edgier, funnier and surprising. But it's a likable, potentially promising premise, buoyed by the expert casting of its leads.
-
60It's too schematic by half, the banter rarely ascends to the level and wit, and it contains barely a believable moment... but it is not without a certain energy and cast-based charm.
-
60Mostly, it is a case load borrowed from "L.A. Law" and "Boston Legal." But the two troubled lawyers are amusing.
-
60An uneven but so far entertaining buddy show.
-
50Although the show works a little too hard at being quirky, "Head Cases" does deliver a pair of well-defined protagonists, but initially not the kind of obsessive-compulsive magnetism it will need to flourish in a pretty inhospitable timeslot.
-
40All alone, Goldberg is beside himself, as if Ben Stiller and Adam Sandler struggled for possession of his soul.
-
40The marriage of opposites is a simplistic and overused premise for a TV series, and ''Head Cases" doesn't travel very far beyond it.
-
38O'Donnell is humorless, formless and vacant; Goldberg is manic and grating.
-
30Had "Boston Legal" not perfected the art of office insanity, "Head Cases" ... actually, nope, can't even say it would have a shot in that circumstance.
-
30Too many moments feel false, overblown or contrived.
-
30The show is neither funny enough to be a comedy nor dramatic enough to be an engaging drama.
-
25"Head Cases" has good leading men but a crushingly bad premise.
-
20One of the more embarrassing new series this season.
-
12The predictability and triteness of "Head Cases" make it difficult to type even a sentence in favor of any part of this series.
-
10The title could have many meanings, but primarily it refers to the people, all 27 of them, who might find something to like in this misfit buddy-lawyer dramedy.
-
10This is David E. Kelley on his worst days with wildly improbable plot developments and much forced humor.
-
0Most of the shows now on network television, whether repugnant or tolerable or actually worthwhile, are competently and professionally directed, edited and photographed, but "Head Cases" is a mess even as a piece of storytelling.
