      Hal Boedeker Orlando Sentinel Picket Fences is standing tall again in its idiosyncratic fashion. We have the pope -- and David Kelley -- to thank for that. Jun 14, 2019 Full Review Joe Reid Decider The show took the quiet-small-town-drama conceit and turned it on its head, delivering something equally stranger and more heartfelt than its trappings would suggest. Jun 14, 2019 Full Review John Carman San Francisco Examiner The show raises the ante for the old definition of high concept TV. Jun 14, 2019 Full Review Jim Vorel Paste Magazine It featured some funny supporting performances, especially from Fyvush Finkel as Jewish lawyer Douglas Wambaugh, but of all its little eccentricities I most enjoyed the bizarre fates suffered by the town's mayors. Jun 14, 2019 Full Review Scott D. Pierce Deseret News (Salt Lake City) Although creator David E. Kelley has left the show in the hands of new executive producer Jeff Melvoin, this high-quality drama doesn't miss a beat. Jun 14, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
