The characters have been provided with robust enough backstories and personalities, and are played commendably by Wilbusch and Canfield, but The Calling never stops feeling small in its execution—both mysteries restrict themselves to two couples/families as their suspects, flitting back and forth until one is exhausted and a clear, unsurprising culprit is found.

Because this is nonetheless a cop show, “The Calling” is content to pad Avi's work life with hallowed tropes. ... Each supporting character is played with enough charisma, despite the show’s progressively dull tone and visual palette that turns Barry Levinson’s initial two episodes into generic work.

With Kelley writing and Levinson directing, there’s no chance that The Calling is going to look or feel like the average network police procedural. ... We’re just not sure what to make of how Avi is characterized on the show, if any of his fellow cops are anything but one-dimensional characters. ... Completely short circuits a deeper sketch of Avi himself but makes religion and faith into a tool instead of a way of life.

Where a shrewder series might have dug deeper, eventually hitting on a distinctive identity of its own, The Calling only grows shallower and duller as its eight-episode series progresses. The Calling‘s descent into mediocrity is made only more disappointing by the glimmers of potential it shows early on.
