Hyperion Bay tries so hard, you can't help wishing the results were better. Go to Full Review Howard Rosenberg Los Angeles Times 07/12/2019
More than anything, Hyperion Bay is often uncomfortably soft and oozy as it monitors its young protagonist's deep introspection. Go to Full Review Phil Gallo Variety 07/12/2019
The script and direction of Joseph Dougherty plays angst, seduction and anger with similar heavy-handedness. There's not a split-second of ambiguity to be found here, for the camera telegraphs every emotion and every forthcoming action. Go to Full Review Gloria Goodale Christian Science Monitor 07/12/2019
The engaging drama Hyperion Bay is a little more intelligent, a little more sensitive to the issues of the twenty- and thirtysomethings who struggle to make sense of their lives Go to Full Review Scott D. Pierce Deseret News (Salt Lake City) 07/12/2019
The pilot wasn't great, but it did show promise. This is one worth keeping an eye on. Go to Full Review David Zurawik Baltimore Sun 07/12/2019
Not as flashy as Dawson's Creek or as emotionally engaging as Felicity, this WB drama about several generations of a modern-day family in northern California still has a lot going for it with strong writing from producer Joseph Dougherty. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
