Critic Reviews for The Mysteries of Laura Season 1
All Critics (51) | Top Critics (30) | Fresh (12) | Rotten (39)
If "Writing a Terrible TV Show 101" was a real college class, The Mysteries of Laura would be its textbook.
The first episode of "The Mysteries of Laura" moved at a nice breezy pace and there was promising interplay between stars Debra Messing and Josh Lucas as estranged NYPD homicide cops with mischievous twin sons.
The Mysteries of Laura is a disasterpiece of the first order, a show so colossally wrongheaded, so cringe-inducingly terrible that one almost has to see it to believe it.
The weakest element is the procedural, and because that's ostensibly why Mysteries of Laura is an hour long, it's a fatal flaw.
Messing is most agreeable, hitting her comedy marks and credible as supercop.
The Mysteries of Laura... has really snappy writing. It's good enough, in fact, to make this hour quite entertaining, but only if you can put aside the show's overt artificiality.
The Mysteries of Laura is nothing. It's a "nothing" a show. Designed to do nothing. If you're a Debra Messing fan, then here she is. Have at it.
The Mysteries of Laura could be a fun, light cop drama if it weren't so bad at just about everything else.
You will be stunned at the level of badness, from the slopping editing to the bad writing. You will not be able to look away or keep from laughing.
Lands like a videocassette that just dropped out of the sky from a time portal.
It's not a show that is going to change lives, but it might just give you a laugh on a Monday night.
The real mystery of Laura is why Debra Messing would have chosen this particular adventure after the crash and slow burn of NBC's Smash.
Audience Reviews for The Mysteries of Laura: Season 1

Dec 13, 2019Ken Jacowitz was in an episode of this show, so as a person of moral conscience, I must rate it 1/2.

Sep 23, 2017I love this show. It is super funny. The minute I hit play I am hooked. I watched both seasons several times I just cant get enough. I wish they would do a 3rd season. Despite of what people are saying was suppose to happen I want to see it with my own eyes. So directors and cast if you reading this please reconsider doing one more season with a better ending. More of a happy ending instead of leaving the hanging. Thank you! Your Fan L. O.

Mar 12, 2016Love the nanny; be great to see more of her if they bring her back. They shouldn't have killed off the captain. And a mehh to the new fiance. Also really bad ending to Tony... Debra Messing's character is not cruel, and that was. sigh. Oh, the dad is too stereotyped... but the sister shows some promise. Max is great (but ah a tad over the top, no? Give him something real to do.)

Jan 26, 2016Good wholesome entertainment. As a non working and then working mother of 4 I thought the depiction of a working mother and of family homelife pretty good. Great to see no gore or naked body parts. Your critics ratings reflect what's wrong with the entertainment industry. Only extreme violence or /and raunchy sex and foul language gets a nod. This show has a tongue in cheek approach with appealing characters and decent stories.

Jan 06, 2016Out-of-date, out-of-touch schlock. The worst parts are the stereotypical woman/mom jabs and jokes. As if the spindly Debra Messing is actually an out of shape and over weight woman who can't fit into her long-lost pair of skinny jeans, which weren't even in style before she became a mom. Also, all the age shaming thrown at her character is disgusting and absurd considering Messing always looks gorgeous. I'm disappointed that the audience score is so high on here because it's crap with a warped sense of reality.

Dec 11, 2015I love this show. It reminds me of Psych. I loved Debra Messing in Starter Wife and Smash. I really hope she gets back with her ex.
