Adam Buckman

Women -- especially young mothers juggling responsibilities at home and the office — will find much with which to identify in the story of Annabeth. Read full review

Rob Owen

Better than average. Read full review

Tom Gliatto

Finnigan's performance dovetails perfectly with Close's neat if heavy- handed dramatic concept. [17 Oct 2005, p.39]

Cynthia Fuchs

[The show has] married the procedural to melodrama, with occasionally intriguing results. Read full review

Maureen Ryan

The trouble with this drama is that it doesn't veer much from the often dark tone of the other procedurals from the Bruckheimer TV factory. Read full review

Barry Garron

Finnigan, who was so right in NBC's loopy comedy "Committed," lacks the heft for the role of the no-nonsense prosecutor. Not that, as written, the role would be easy for anyone. It requires Annabeth to be a vigorous and energetic protagonist and, simultaneously, a weepy young mother with postpartum blues. Read full review

Mike Duffy

Crusading criminal prosecutor Annabeth Chase... [is] the most irritating lead character on any new drama series this fall. Read full review

By far the best of the Bruckheimer shows, it is a shame it was not on the air longer. It blended drama and humor so well, something that is sorely missing in most of contemporary television.
