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

The first episode of “Traveler” is well made and quite gripping.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles TimesMary 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.
Read Full Review >NewsdayDiane Werts
A pretty nifty, if completely insane, suspense/conspiracy/ chase/road adventure.
Read Full Review >New York PostLinda Stasi
The action is fast and sometimes even compelling, if not entirely believable - or even a little believable.
Read Full Review >Washington PostTom 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.
Read Full Review >Philadelphia Daily NewsEllen Gray
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.
Read Full Review >Orlando SentinelHal Boedeker
After 24, Lost, Heroes and Prison Break, prime time is overstocked with such sprawling, demanding plots.
Read Full Review >Baltimore SunDavid 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.
Read Full Review >Boston GlobeMatthew Gilbert
Alas, show creator David DiGilio forgot to put distinct personalities on his fast-moving bodies.
Read Full Review >Chicago Sun-TimesDoug 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.
Read Full Review >Hollywood ReporterRay 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.
Read Full Review >Philadelphia InquirerJonathan Storm
I'm already committed to Prison Break. One cockamamy chase show is all my unaddled brain can handle.

Great tv show. Wish it were on again.
Brenda gave it a10:
Love the show! The end of last season is a great start for season 2!!!! Hope ABC has enough common sense to bring it back for a second season.
Ed A. gave it a10:
Great Show.
Craig gave it an8:
The show is pretty good. Only the fact that I wish one of the two protagonists would get killed is keeping me from giving it a 10.
Silke P. gave it a10:
Best show on TV!!!!!!
Haley R. gave it a10:
You have to either loathe or absolutely adore this show. I chose the latter.
