Critic Reviews

Aaron Barnhart

Season 1 Review: It feels like Haggis and Moresco are picking up right where “EZ Streets” left off. Read full review

David Hinckley

Season 1 Review: All the Haggis-Moresco touches are here, from the imaginative choices and uses of music to the sly surprises and twisted humor. Read full review

David Zurawik

Season 1 Review: Those viewers who can come to terms with Joey's voice will find themselves richly rewarded by the powerful performances of Tucker as Tommy Donnelly and Olivia Wilde as Jenny Reilly. Read full review

Alan Sepinwall

Season 1 Review: If "Donnellys" wants a shot at doing better than "Studio 60" in its timeslot, it needs at least a hint of a larger-than-life figure. Read full review

Melanie McFarland

Season 1 Review: It sounds like the kind of "keeping up with HBO" series Showtime would do, except the premium cable channel already aired an Irish mobster series, "Brotherhood." And it had richer characters and superior plotting. Read full review

Robert Abele

Season 1 Review: Unfortunately, the young actors on display aren’t compelling enough to make us care much beyond their sometimes stupidly self-induced crises. Read full review

Paul Brownfield

Season 1 Review: NBC sent out five episodes; I sat through three before throwing the DVD on the Donate to Public Library pile. I would like to apologize in advance to the library. Read full review
