Season 1 Review: An attractive, multi-accented cast and far-flung locales make it worth the trip. [1 Jul 2013, p.36]

Season 1 Review: It seems that international crime fighting has the same wearying turf wars as American police work and that border-crossing serial killers practice the same sorts of sadistic violence against women that domestic ones often do.... Still, Crossing Lines makes for satisfying viewing; with Mr. Fichtner’s and Mr. Lavoine’s performances it might continue to do so for the summer. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Though constructed from off-the-rack tropes and predictable dialogue, the show also keeps moving forward, causing its characters enough trouble that you feel compelled to stick around at least to see how they get out of it. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The whole melting pot of European coppers swapping insults is a rather stale twist on an old formula. That’s not to say Lines is without its merits, starting with Fichtner. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The cops, led by Marc Lavoine, are an interesting mix, and the scenery's great. If only the crime itself didn't seem so drearily familiar. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Crossing Lines isn’t breezy enough for a summer diversion. Instead it’s ponderous, pretentious and too predictable. Read full review

Season 1 Review: There's potentially a very interesting show about cops from different cultures, with different methods of policing, learning to work together. Based on the pilot, at least, Crossing Lines just treats all that as window dressing for the same old, same old. Read full review
