Critics' reviews

"What we have here is accomplished and absorbing television."

John Leonard: New York Magazine
"Haggis equates the slow revealing of character and plot with classy writing; you'll probably experience it as stuff you can see coming a mile away."

Ken Tucker: Entertainment Weekly
"All the Haggis-Moresco touches are here, from the imaginative choices and uses of music to the sly surprises and twisted humor."

David Hinckley: New York Daily News
"Ultimately 'The Black Donnellys' pales in the light of its lofty influences."

Matthew Gilbert: Boston Globe
"Unfortunately, the young actors on display aren’t compelling enough to make us care much beyond their sometimes stupidly self-induced crises."

Robert Abele: LA Weekly
"Those viewers who can come to terms with Joey's voice will find themselves richly rewarded by the powerful performances of Tucker as Tommy Donnelly and Olivia Wilde as Jenny Reilly"

Baltimore Sun
"[It] ultimately succumbs to being an inferior story on a broadcast network that can't even remotely match two far better cable series"

Tim Goodman: SFgate
