	Author	Review
United States	Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"Despite Wilson’s best efforts to lend the character dimension, Detective Backstrom is not as delightfully, darkly complicated as other (...) antiheroes."	NEU
United States	Robert Bianco USA Today	"Rather than draw us in to the character, Wilson pushes us farther away. The performance isn't just charmless; it's overly defined and emphatic. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEU
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"This is the sort of (...) drama that doesn’t feel distinctive enough."	NEU
United States	David Wiegand SFGATE	"Rainn Wilson can carry a series, just not this one, as written. That doesn’t mean it’s a complete mess, but there are significant credibility problems on several levels that need to be addressed to build effectively on Wilson’s likability."	NEU
United States	Alessandra Stanley The New York Times	"The show is so underwhelming that not many people will want to stick around to puzzle it out."	NEG
