Brian Lowry Variety Goldblum's deft touch with rapid-fire delivery makes him a particularly good choice for the show's cerebral brand of crime drama. Nov 2, 2018 Full Review Alan Sepinwall Newark Star-Ledger Goldblum makes more sense as D'Onofrio's potential replacement, not his co-lead... Maybe replacing Goren's opposite number with a kind of long-lost identical cousin will make the series more dependable than it's been. Nov 2, 2018 Full Review Mandi Bierly Entertainment Weekly In short, he's exactly what you thought you were getting from the casting of Jeff Goldblum. We look forward to catching his episodes in a holiday marathon in the years to come. Nov 2, 2018 Full Review Tom Gliatto People Magazine [Jeff Goldblum]'s a good fit, a stealth oddball among the sensible department regulars... The show is such a dependable machine; it helps to have a few loose gears sending out unexpected sparks. Nov 2, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
