John J. O'Connor New York Times The strength of this show is in the characters of Williams and Torres. Mr. Yoba and Mr. DeLorenzo have wasted no time getting perfectly on target. Feb 12, 2024 Full Review Ken Parish Perkins Chicago Tribune New York Undercover instead moves with the edgy motion of a music video -- thumping hip-hop soundtrack, it would be a hands-down favorite for "best music in a television series" award, if the Emmy folks offered such a thing. Feb 12, 2024 Full Review Mike Duffy Detroit Free Press It's not an uninteresting premise. But neither the writing nor the storytelling remotely match the consistent intelligence and power of NYPD Blue or Law & Order. Rated: 2/4 Feb 12, 2024 Full Review Joyce Millman San Francisco Examiner New York Undercover has the no-nonsense pacing and alluring grittiness of Law & Order, but in place of that show's mature stars, Wolf gives us the charismatic young duo of Michael DeLorenzo and Malik Yoba. Feb 12, 2024 Full Review Elvis Mitchell Spin I want to like it, and find myself wishing the writing on Undercover weren't so pedestrian. Feb 12, 2024 Full Review Alan Pergament Buffalo News The case has a variety of twists, Yoba and DeLorenzo have charisma, and the music is mood-setting. Rated: 3.5/5 Feb 12, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Justin P I loved this show growing up. I used to watch it with my dad. I was 10 years old when it started. I have been looking for it for years...even trying to buy the series online and have had no luck then it popped up on Hulu. Funny thing is I didnt know it was created by Dick Wolf. I like EVERY show he does between Law and Orders and the Chicago shows...he has a brilliant mind to be able to come up with all these different ideas. I am sure he gets ideas from real life events but till. Dick Wolf has to be one of the best. Every show he has been a part of runs for years and years. I only took a half star off because they stopped it lol. But although I know Dick Wolf wont see this keep up the good work. My whole family likes your shows. I would love to see a crime movie made by him some day. We all know he could do it. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/28/23 Full Review Coach P 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Best Ever. Game Changer. Inclusive to all humans like it's pose to be. They jump started many careers. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Please bring this show back Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the best tv shows from the 90s Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
