Critics Consensus

Numb3rs has the equation for a pleasant procedural down pat with its appealing stars and brainy approach to solving crimes, although some viewers may find the series only adds up to rote formula.

Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times It's a slick production in which the city looks very good, almost juicy, in a fashion-shoot kind of way. But in spite of map-accurate street names and neighborhoods, it's an unreal city, made for cardboard heroes and nasty stick-figure villains. Feb 12, 2020 Full Review Hal Boedeker Orlando Sentinel Any way you count Numb3rs, it's a disappointment. With that cast and those producers, the mystery-solving should be more meaningful. Feb 12, 2020 Full Review Melanie McFarland Seattle Post-Intelligencer While not bad, "Numb3rs" doesn't offer anything particularly new to the genre Feb 12, 2020 Full Review Sid Smith Baltimore Sun The tricky mix of investigative detail and smidgen of human drama typical in these shows is not very well balanced here. Feb 12, 2020 Full Review Alan Pergament Buffalo News Wasting a large talented cast, "Numb3rs" proves that sometimes the whole doesn't equal the sum of its parts. Rated: 1.5/4 Feb 12, 2020 Full Review Tom Jicha South Florida Sun-Sentinel Thanks to a cache of winning performances by a solid cast of TV veterans, Numb3rs is not as coma-inducing as it sounds. But it demands a generous willingness to go with the flow and accept the premise. Feb 12, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
