Watching requires blanket disbelief and a high tolerance for heartstring tugging... [Robert Mitchum] looks as if he'd wandered onto the wrong sound stage and decided to hang around for kicks. Go to Full Review Rick Kogan Chicago Tribune 05/29/2019
The rumpled Robert Mitchum, given one of the most preposterous assignments in television history, does what he can as the title character in this new NBC series... Still, the persuasiveness of Mitchum's performance makes it impossible to write this off. Go to Full Review Ken Tucker Entertainment Weekly 05/29/2019

This late-career blip on the rugged CV of one of the great Hollywood actors is yours to gape at in sad disbelief through the barely-parted fingers you'll hold over your face. Go to Full Review David Hiltbrand People Magazine 05/29/2019
