Jul 12, 2018 | Full Review… Rachel Ray Daily Telegraph (UK) Top Critic Though No Ordinary Family bears many hallmarks of an interesting failure, it falls slightly short of the distinction on account of its resistance to being consistently interesting. Sep 28, 2010 | Full Review… Troy Patterson Slate Top Critic No Ordinary Family requires a lot more work for a measurably reduced payoff. Sep 28, 2010 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review… David Hinckley New York Daily News Top Critic t's like witnessing a concert pianist execute an elaborate version of Chopsticks. Sep 28, 2010 | Rating: C | Full Review… Verne Gay Newsday Top Critic With believable chemistry together, Chiklis and Benz help create a solid TV couple and, let's hope, no ordinary series. Sep 28, 2010 | Full Review… Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe Top Critic While No Ordinary Family is not yet as riveting as it could be, early plot lines suggest that it may grow into more suspenseful viewing as the series develops. Oct 3, 2018 | Full Review… Megan Basham WORLD Everything in the family stories are underlined and in bold face, and the focus of the pilot is so heavily on the parents that the kids barely register as more than types.

Jul 12, 2018 | Full Review… Anthony Ocasio ScreenRant No Ordinary Family is certainly no ordinary superhero series. Yes, there's some crime-fighting -- ... but the focus here is more on how an average family tries to adapt to a very unusual situation.
