Critics' reviews

"Despite Wilson’s best efforts to lend the character dimension, Detective Backstrom is not as delightfully, darkly complicated as other (...) antiheroes."

Hank Stuever: The Washington Post
"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)"

Robert Bianco: USA Today
"This is the sort of (...) drama that doesn’t feel distinctive enough."

Brian Lowry: Variety
"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."

David Wiegand: SFGATE
"The show is so underwhelming that not many people will want to stick around to puzzle it out."

Alessandra Stanley: The New York Times
