	Author	Review
United States	Matt Roush TV Guide	"'The River' is a terrifying heart-stopper, a cleverly cinematic supernatural adventure that takes us on a wild ride into an exotic heart of darkness"	POS
United States	Ken Tucker Entertainment Weekly	"The performances are good but constrained by the parameters of scary-story acting"	POS
United States	Linda Stasi New York Post	"Lots of good stuff, although much is forced (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Robert Bianco USA Today	"A strong cast and that things-that-go-bump-in-the-night shooting style so far keep the show on course (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	James Poniewozik Time	"A suspenseful, hurtling water ride of a TV show"	POS
United States	Matt Zoller Seitz Vulture	"It's reasonably clever and well acted and has strong atmosphere and a few good scares, and the concept (...) is catchy. But the format of the show may prove a dealbreaker for me"	NEU
United States	Mike Hale The New York Times	"The mixture of 'Lost' storytelling and 'Paranormal' style is neither intriguing nor particularly scary, and it doesn't help that there's hardly a glimmer of humor"	NEU
