  1. In theory, it's an intriguing concept for a series. But in practice, "Six Degrees" doesn't work at all in drawing you in at the start.

    The show's a letdown, especially since it comes with one of the most lovingly assembled casts of any series. [9 Oct 2006, p.41]
  3. Six Degrees fancies itself as clever but is really little more than a one-trick pony. Even worse, that trick pony is pretty damn lame. [22 Sep 2006, p.89]

    The show is laced with wit and blessed with fine actors... Yet the coincidences that bring the show’s six wayfarers together to form their own little island on the big island are vexingly hokey.
  5. A gimmick in search of a show.
  6. 30
    A pretty bland romantic confection.
  7. 20
    It's lame and it's limp, and as deployed for "Six Degrees," the conceit would seem to owe quite a bit to the movie "Crash," among such other more antique inspirations as "The Bridge of San Luis Rey."

    I hope they bring this back for a second season, it would be interesting to find out where all the characters have came from and where they will end up. Please bring this back! Full Review »

    I think this is a great show. It is a shame that ABC is going to cancel it. I think the problem is that ABC didn't advertise it enough.
