Phil Gallo Variety [Robert] Pastorelli plays his character with considerable weight and [James} Sadwith, who has based the pilot on several of the original's plot lines, is consistently on the mark in deciding how much room to give him in each frame. Jul 18, 2019 Full Review David Zurawik Baltimore Sun If you were a fan of the original, this low-rent knockoff will make you ill. Aug 20, 2019 Full Review Tom Jicha South Florida Sun-Sentinel For fans of quality drama, the compulsive Fitz is must-see TV. Jul 3, 2019 Full Review Terry Kelleher People Magazine The protagonist remains as difficult and dissipated as he is brilliant. Rated: B+ Jul 3, 2019 Full Review James Endrst Hartford Courant [Robert] Pastorelli's Fitz is a Beat Generation blowhard. All bluster. No talent. Jul 3, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
