More Show More Episodes Critic Reviews for Crisis Season 1 All Critics (33) | Top Critics (17) | Fresh (20) | Rotten (13) The mood music in Crisis can be over-wrought at times -- and downright over-bearing when a male vocalist breaks into "Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child." But the first two hours are nicely paced and eventful. Mar 13, 2014 | Rating: B- | Full Review… Ed Bark Uncle Barky Top Critic The story itself relies on a series of coincidences that may be improbable, but the character responses feel authentic. Mar 13, 2014 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… David Hinckley New York Daily News Top Critic Smart new techno-thriller led by the always good Mulroney. Mar 13, 2014 | Rating: A- | Full Review… Verne Gay Newsday Top Critic Crisis may wind up being only half as long as a season of 24, but it also may wind up being just as intense - and just as good. Mar 21, 2014 | Full Review… David Bianculli NPR Top Critic Crisis spends so much time constructing a complicated world that it forgets to populate it with anyone worth watching. Mar 20, 2014 | Full Review… Andy Greenwald Grantland Top Critic Sometimes the only way to save a stupid TV show is to make it more stupid. This, anyway, is my note to the creators of Crisis. Mar 17, 2014 | Full Review… Willa Paskin Slate Top Critic Crisis is a surprisingly gripping thriller about the horrors that befall a group of rich, overeducated teens when their cell phones enter a network-free dead zone. Aug 22, 2018 | Full Review… Sophie Gilbert The Washingtonian Crisis is a limp series that relies too much on plot contrivances and fails miserably at connecting with its audience. Jul 2, 2018 | Full Review… Jessica Johnson Time Out Chicago After I'd seen two hours of Crisis, did I want to see what happened next to any of these characters? Not particularly. Mar 17, 2014 | Full Review… Maureen Ryan Huffington Post If you're looking for a series that's a heady mix of action movie, political thriller, teen soap opera and network crime drama, you'll want to get on the bus.
