	Author	Review
United States	Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"No more mysteries wrapped in riddles inside enigmas (...) You say “Lost” was too finely sliced? Abrams and friends have sliced “Alcatraz” into very thick slabs and served them up on a big plate of obvious"	POS
United States	Linda Stasi New York Post	"The pilot moves along well, is a lot of fun--but Madsen is just too blond and bland to create the kind of excitement that Jennifer Garner or other of Abrams' female kick-ass characters were able to do with both hands tied behind their backs."	NEU
United States	Robert Bianco USA Today	"Alcatraz is easy enough to follow tonight, with twists and surprises that are enjoyable and not enervating. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"The show proves flawed on key levels (...) The pilot is not bad, but offers at best marginal incentive to invest much more time in this"	NEU
United States	Neil Genzlinger The New York Times	"A spunky upgrade over the collection of interchangeable police procedurals clogging the television schedule"	POS
