What to Know

Critics Consensus

Not even the most adept forensics expert could detect a pulse in Crossing Jordan, a flavorless procedural that has a likable cast, but is embalmed from the get-go with a queasy mixture of earnest sentiment and cynical brutality.

John Carman San Francisco Chronicle The medical drama is leavened by some nice comic flourishes. Hennessy shows a streak of comic sensibility that she couldn't have learned at "Law & Order." Rated: 3/4 Jan 8, 2020 Full Review Ann Hodges Houston Chronicle [Jill] Hennessy has the strength to be a leading lady, but she's up to her neck in ghoulishness. Rated: B- Jan 2, 2020 Full Review Hal Boedeker Orlando Sentinel "Every body tells a story," Jordan says. That's certainly true of Crossing Jordan, which never has a life of its own. Jan 2, 2020 Full Review Tom Jicha South Florida Sun-Sentinel Noth is one of the most dependable, appealing actors working the tube. The only shortcoming of his guest shot on Crossing Jordan is that he isn't in it enough. Feb 4, 2019 Full Review Seattle Post-Intelligencer Staff Seattle Post-Intelligencer Jordan Cavannaugh is relatable only in small doses. Nov 17, 2018 Full Review B.J. Carter PopMatters The problem is, [Jordan] comes off as a list of adjectives pitched to a Hollywood executive rather than a believable character worth spending time with. Rated: 5/10 Nov 17, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
