Critics' reviews

"With these superb supporting players [Victor Garber, Tom Amandes, and Loretta Devine] helping drain away any potential drippiness from the show's magical-realist trappings, Eli Stone proves as solid as a rock."

Entertainment Weekly
"Adorably quirky and emotionally surprising, Eli Stone is a legal drama the same way Pushing Daisies (how I miss it) is a mere whodunit."

Matt Roush: TV Guide
"There's a strong supporting cast, including Loretta Devine as Stone's no-nonsense secretary, but the big attraction is Miller's Stone and his transformation from heartless corporate lawyer to protector of the little guy."

Barry Garron: The Hollywood Reporter
"Though Berlanti doesn't always get the balance right and there's no telling whether people will glom onto Eli the way they did Ally, having seen three episodes and been entertained through most of them is saying something, at least."

Tim Goodman: SFGATE
"Lots of fun. The acting and comic timing, when called for, are tremendous - and Miller's got the heft to carry it off."

Linda Stasi: New York Post
"It's hard not to like a show that extends its warmth even to characters you expect to be unsympathetic and that expands its entertainment vocabulary to music, dancing and flights of fancy."

Robert Bianco: USA Today
"What makes the show worth watching are some old-fashioned character relationships; no single performance tears up the place, but together they make something interesting."

Robert Lloyd: Los Angeles Times
