Mar 9, 2018 | Rating: B- | Full Review… Ed Bark Uncle Barky Top Critic The "Magician helps the FBI fight crime" hook of Deception sounds silly, but the early episodes prove that "silly" isn't the same as "bad." Mar 12, 2018 | Full Review… Dan Fienberg Hollywood Reporter Top Critic Unfortunately, Deception is a show about the magic of illusion that has a great deal of difficulty being, y'know, magical. Mar 12, 2018 | Full Review… Matt Zoller Seitz New York Magazine/Vulture Top Critic Never rising above its hokey premise, the procedural is further sunk by transparent mysteries, hollow supporting characters, and a fatal lack of surprises. Mar 6, 2018 | Full Review… Inkoo Kang Variety Top Critic It's all pretty absurd, but the show is too light on its feet to begrudge for long. Mar 9, 2018 | Full Review… Chris Barton Los Angeles Times Top Critic Platinum-plated nonsense -- but also self-aware enough to know just how nonsensical. Deception is mostly just a lot of fun. Mar 8, 2018 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review… Verne Gay Newsday Top Critic Mush up some MacGyver with a little Leverage and then throw in, well, just about every "Cocky Specialist teams with Perpetually Perturbed FBI Agent" series and you've got Deception. Jul 20, 2017 | Rating: 5.8/10 | Full Review… Matt Fowler IGN Movies Anything is better than this. Apr 4, 2018 | Full Review… Joel Keller Decider Deception is fairly charming in spite of its blah procedural trappings thanks to Mr. Cutmore-Scott and his character's bag of tricks and magic team. Jun 27, 2018 | Full Review… Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette The storyline is smart. Feb 28, 2019 | Full Review… Malcolm Hopwood Stuff.co.nz Improbable but still fun magic-themed crime drama. Mar 13, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media View All Critic Reviews (11) Audience Reviews for Deception: Season 1 2d ago Fabulous! Must watch! Fantastic! Bravo!
