Critics Consensus

Numb3rs has the equation for a pleasant procedural down pat with its appealing stars and brainy approach to solving crimes, although some viewers may find the series only adds up to rote formula.

Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times 02/12/2020
It's a slick production in which the city looks very good, almost juicy, in a fashion-shoot kind of way. But in spite of map-accurate street names and neighborhoods, it's an unreal city, made for cardboard heroes and nasty stick-figure villains. Go to Full Review Hal Boedeker Orlando Sentinel 02/12/2020
Any way you count Numb3rs, it's a disappointment. With that cast and those producers, the mystery-solving should be more meaningful. Go to Full Review Melanie McFarland Seattle Post-Intelligencer 02/12/2020
While not bad, "Numb3rs" doesn't offer anything particularly new to the genre Go to Full Review Sid Smith Baltimore Sun 02/12/2020
The tricky mix of investigative detail and smidgen of human drama typical in these shows is not very well balanced here. Go to Full Review Alan Pergament Buffalo News 02/12/2020
1.5/4
Wasting a large talented cast, "Numb3rs" proves that sometimes the whole doesn't equal the sum of its parts. Go to Full Review Tom Jicha South Florida Sun-Sentinel 02/12/2020
Thanks to a cache of winning performances by a solid cast of TV veterans, Numb3rs is not as coma-inducing as it sounds. But it demands a generous willingness to go with the flow and accept the premise. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
