Tom Shales Washington Post 07/23/2019
A ghastly, ghostly walking corpse, a ghoulish visitation from beyond the beyond, a hideous apparition from the bottomless pit of used ideas. A tale from the crypt. Go to Full Review Tony Scott Variety 07/23/2019
What's supposed to be the resurrection of a sophisticated murder mystery series turns out to be a dud, and watching the genteel Barry hoofing with a rock troupe rates a cringe. Go to Full Review Rick Kogan Chicago Tribune 07/23/2019
A tired retread of the original series that ran in the 1960s... Though Barry remains a class act, Barton's a mannequin. Go to Full Review Scott D. Pierce Deseret News (Salt Lake City) 07/23/2019
Burke's Law will never be confused with NYPD Blue or Homicide: Life on the Streets. It's light-hearted, lightweight entertainment - nothing more. And, with that as a goal, it succeeds. Go to Full Review David Bianculli Baltimore Sun 07/23/2019
Though hardly considered an entertainment entree, at least Burke's Law serves up hefty helpings of goofy guest-star appearances. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
