It would be a shame, really, if "Mercy Point" doesn't get a chance. Because it's an interesting idea that's a lot better than you would have imagined. Go to Full Review Caryn James New York Times Jun 24, 2019
''Mercy Point'' means to be ''E.R.'' meets ''Star Trek,'' but this drama about a hospital in space is not even entertaining in a goofy, campy way. Go to Full Review Lee Sandlin Chicago Reader Oct 24, 2017
They couldn't even be bothered to make up plots. Go to Full Review Scott D. Pierce Deseret News (Salt Lake City) Jun 24, 2019
UPN would like you to believe that this show is "ER" in outer space. And it might have been, if they'd spent more time on the writing and less on creating icky-looking aliens and all manner of human and alien medical grotesqueness. Go to Full Review David Zurawik Baltimore Sun Jun 24, 2019
A new twist on the doctor drama, a sci-fi version set at a hospital in deep space. The patients mostly look as if they just left the spaceport bar in "Star Wars." Joe Morton plays a specialist in diseases of the strangest-looking aliens. This is sad. Go to Full Review James Endrst Hartford Courant Jun 24, 2019
Heavily reliant on all manner of goo and gag-o-rama special effects even B-movie producers would think twice about, the show proceeds predictably. We watch the intense, committed crew members and patients interact, bond, fight, operate. You name it. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
