	Author	Review
United States	Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"There’s an interesting psychological drama to explore here, if 'Ironside’s' writers and its seasoned cast can resist the easy, repetitive lure of cop-show pro-forma."	POS
United States	Matt Zoller Seitz New York Magazine	"The show is partly redeemed by Underwood’s snitty charisma and 'The Killing' co-star Brent Sexton"	NEU
United States	Entertainment Weekly	"Too bad [Blair Underwood's] talent is wasted on this Raymond Burr reboot, which casts him as a wheelchairbound cop who dangles bad guys over buildings and delivers hacky dialogue."	NEG
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"It’s all so tired and warmed over that the show feels like it’s stuck in a rut almost from the get-go, which doesn’t bode well for it either commercially or creatively."	NEG
United States	Robert Bianco USA Today	"An atrociously clunky [revival] that keeps only the rough outline (...) while jettisoning whatever wit and intelligence the original possessed makes no sense at all. (...) Rating. ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG
