UPN canceled the well-made, way-cool Nowhere Man to make way for this nonsense. Go to Full Review Caryn James New York Times 08/14/2019
The show's greatest appeal is to more specialized, cultish taste; intentionally or not, it offers the loopy delights of a cut-rate, over-the-top horror movie. Go to Full Review Ken Tucker Entertainment Weekly 08/14/2019

The Burning Zone is unhealthy hugger-mugger about deadly viruses and disease-ridden monsters. Go to Full Review Rick Kushman Sacramento Bee 10/21/2021
2/4

If this does anything, it'll make you wash your hands. Go to Full Review James Endrst Hartford Courant 10/19/2021
It's a Grade A production, even with B-level stars and performances. We've got the fever. Go to Full Review Scott D. Pierce Deseret News (Salt Lake City) 08/14/2019
