	Author	Review
United States	Robert Rorke New York Post	"While the target audience will probably dig the extensive action sequences and vivid violence, there’s no reason anyone else should be 'Taken' for a ride"	NEU
United States	Maureen Ryan Variety	T"he show has a lot of pieces to juggle, and it doesn’t always weave its multitude of plots together gracefully"	NEU
United States	Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe	"[Taken] is like a parody of a TV action drama. ... Except a parody wouldn’t be so boring, so unintentionally illogical, so unmemorable"	NEG
United States	Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times	"It may be overcooked and unexceptional, like a midlevel chain restaurant meal, but those places are full of customers and many will doubtless find it satisfying."	NEU
United States	Allison Keene Collider	"There are moments that make it feel like it could be at least as engaging as Homeland or other tense thrillers. But it wastes those opportunities as well as a good cast"	NEG
United States	Rob Lowman Los Angeles Daily News	"It had the elements needed to be an exciting show. Instead, it’s been made pretty ordinary. Too bad, Standen deserves to be shown off better."	NEU
