Critics' reviews

"There’s a caustic wit to 'Bad Judge' that, with a little help, might still rise above its more shallow laughs."

Hank Stuever: The Washington Post
"The premise is intriguing, but the execution fizzles, for the most part."

David Wiegand: San Francisco Chronicle
"Walsh’s gifts (...) aren’t the only ones going to waste. Ryan Hansen (...) and Ryan McPartlin (...) are given little to work with. No matter what the crime, no TV viewer should be sentenced to watch 'Bad Judge'."

Sarah Rodman: Boston Globe
"Walsh’s mix of comedy chops and sex appeal do as much as an actress could to sell such a role, but even generous acceptance of the show as broad farce makes it difficult to return a favorable verdict."

Brian Lowry: Variety
"If the writers can stop laying it on so thick, maybe Walsh will find her way into the role and 'Bad Judge' will have a better shot at entertaining and shocking us. (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"

Robert Rorke: New York Post
