More Show More Episodes Critic Reviews for The Mysteries of Laura Season 1 All Critics (44) | Top Critics (24) | Fresh (10) | Rotten (34) 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. Sep 17, 2014 | Full Review… Andy Greenwald Grantland Top Critic The weakest element is the procedural, and because that's ostensibly why Mysteries of Laura is an hour long, it's a fatal flaw. Sep 17, 2014 | Rating: D | Full Review… Vicki Hyman Newark Star-Ledger Top Critic Messing is most agreeable, hitting her comedy marks and credible as supercop. Sep 17, 2014 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… David Hinckley New York Daily News Top Critic 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. Sep 16, 2014 | Full Review… David Hiltbrand Philadelphia Inquirer Top Critic This series, which blends and bends genres, tries to balance sketchy character development with a sketchy tone, then ends with a payoff that's rushed and implausible. Sep 16, 2014 | Rating: C+ | Full Review… Verne Gay Newsday Top Critic The home-life stuff, especially the misbehavior of the kids, is tough to take. Sep 15, 2014 | Rating: C- | Full Review… Sarah Rodman Boston Globe Top Critic Lands like a videocassette that just dropped out of the sky from a time portal. Jun 8, 2018 | Full Review… Tom Fitzgerald and Lorenzo Marquez Tom & Lorenzo It's not a show that is going to change lives, but it might just give you a laugh on a Monday night. Apr 26, 2017 | Full Review… Pattie Pegler Stuff.co.nz 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. Sep 17, 2014 | Full Review… Ellen Gray Philadelphia Daily News The Mysteries of Laura's biggest mistake is that it makes so many big mistakes that it's essentially a soulless jumble of today's Top 40 music, a former sitcom star in a bad role, and an underestimation of its audience. I do not like it one bit. Sep 17, 2014 | Full Review… Tim Surette TV.com View All Critic Reviews (44) Audience Reviews for The Mysteries of Laura: Season 1 There are no featured audience reviews yet.
