AUDIENCE SCORE
Critic Consensus: Despite a strong cast that includes Kelly Reilly and Vanessa Redgrave, Black Box relies too heavily on unusual medical cases to offset a string of silly TV cliches about mental illness.

Critic Reviews for Black Box: Season 1
All Critics (28) | Top Critics (18) | Fresh (7) | Rotten (21)
This is, hands down, the worst series of the year, with the most annoying lead character in a season with many annoying lead characters.
Black's condition is no joke - except when it is. The series is severely manic-depressive itself and emotionally manipulative in both modes.
Watching Black go off her meds and in a sense, "Hulk out," is too laughable to be harrying.
Black Box hasn't quite found the sweet spot between two TV genres it's trying to straddle.
The characters, their situations, the tone, an incredibly specific character perspective and thus Black's bipolar mind -- it's all clear, forceful, yet unforced and riveting.
Its clinically quirky heroine makes for a memorable premiere episode, but in later episodes, her flavor is diluted in a stew of typical plot lines and characters, and we're watching just another good but unmemorable hospital show.
