Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe Karen Sisco is primarily about the ongoing spectacle of Karen's high-heeled bravado, but its crimes of the week are also rich in character. Apr 16, 2019 Full Review Hal Boedeker Orlando Sentinel Carla Gugino takes over and portrays Sisco in a sexy, determined style that is breathtaking. Apr 16, 2019 Full Review Tom Shales Washington Post Carla Gugino plays [Karen Sisco] on the small [screen], though it seems less small with Gugino on it. Hers is an essentially ingratiating performance, hard as steel maybe but not as cold, and the show has its own distinctive oomph. Apr 16, 2019 Full Review Tom Jicha South Florida Sun-Sentinel Karen Sisco deserves to be [Danny] DeVito's first TV production to hang around awhile. Sep 9, 2019 Full Review Scott D. Pierce Deseret News (Salt Lake City) It's an entertaining show that is at least trying to be somewhat different from the "CSI" clones clogging the airwaves. It deserves points for that. Sep 9, 2019 Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Not a lot of time is spent exploring characters other than the lead in this series, and the stories sort of wander by, almost daring you to get involved.
