Mike McDaniel Houston Chronicle 11/12/2019
Its plots are convoluted, its dialogue can be techno-numbing, and its cast -- eight people strong -- is a bit much to handle. But at least the show has more to it than showing how a fictional task force for Homeland Security does its job. Go to Full Review Ann Donahue Variety 11/12/2019
With a take-no-prisoners pace and gadgets galore, ABC's "Threat Matrix" should attract those who can easily suspend disbelief and get the warm fuzzies from seeing threats to national security being blown to smithereens every week. Go to Full Review Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe 11/12/2019
This is a paint-by-numbers crime series built on guaranteed weekly resolutions and the infallibility of our protective agencies. Go to Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette 03/03/2020
Producers use romance in ridiculous situations that makes the show far less believable than it ought to be. Go to Full Review Bruce R. Miller Sioux City Journal 01/14/2020
