Linda Stasi

It's actually more interesting than you might have thought. [21 Jan 2005]

Gillian Flynn

Math might not seem the sexiest way to enliven a story. But that's the sneaky smarts of this show, executive-produced by film directors Ridley Scott (Gladiator) and Tony Scott (Man on Fire), who know how to dust off old genres. Read full review

Watching Charlie stare into space and compute somehow isn't as persuasive as watching Gil Grissom or one of his "CSI" cohorts peer into a microscope. [23 Jan 2005]

This is by no means a lousy show. The performances are solid and the brothers-working-together dynamic is intriguing. But the pilot lacked dramatic oomph, and it did a poor job of actually taking viewers inside the math and explaining how it works. Consequently, "Numb3rs" just doesn't add up. [22 Jan 2005]

Jul 8, 2013

A sometimes clever twist on the overly familiar crime drama format ... is ultimately bogged down in the same old gory homicidal cliches and whodunit solutions. [23 Jan 2005]

Why is Charlie here? He doesn’t get involved in the action, only generates equations that are truly unexciting. Read full review

Robert Lloyd

Jul 8, 2013

It is astonishing to me that a television show that stars Rob Morrow, Sabrina Lloyd, David Krumholtz and Judd Hirsch, four of the most interesting and attractive and amusing actors television has ever beamed into a living room, would turn out to be a show that -- on the basis of its pilot, at least -- I would not ever care to watch again.

The acting seems alittle off a first but youl get used to it. Some eposides have action and some don't. Over-all its worth watching if you have nothing better to do.

Another crime drama, but this one has a gimmick. Its relationship with and use of mathematics is merely superficial jargon. Meh. Don't watch this, there must be something better for you to do.
