It is rollicking fun. [11 Aug 1996, p.K01]
There's enough humor in this escape route entertainment to bring you back for more. [11 Aug 1996, p.1996]
The style of The Big Easy is slick: good camera work, great music, fast pacing. Its script isn't as intelligent yet as some of the big cop dramas on the big networks, but there are glimmers of hope in the City that Hope Forgot. [9 Aug 1996, p.24]
One trouble is that Crane and Walters don't come near striking a spark; episode's final, unprepared-for scene, in which they profess a mutual declaration, goes clunk. [9 Aug 1996]
Atmosphere is all the series has going for it. Remy's murder investigations never become suspenseful. And the slow-burning sexual attraction between Remy and Anne works better in a film than in a series. Drawing the relationship out over several episodes, The Big Easy becomes "Moonlighting" without the wit. [10 Aug 1996, p.19]
The producers of The Big Easy could take a lesson from Homicide, a show that capitalizes on its regional setting by letting Baltimore's charm come through unself-consciously -- not dressed up, as New Orleans is here, in a bad Mardi Gras costume. [10 Aug 1996, p.3G]
Lousy and offensive...a terrible TV take on the cinematic hit. [10 Aug 1996, p.C1]
