Standoff • Season 1 Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Tribune
Maureen Ryan
"Standoff" isn't a terrible show, it's just an unnecessary one, and in a season full of much more promising new offerings, it's really just best to ignore these bickering "Bones"-inspired cops.
Common Sense Media
Sierra Filucci
The formula works well at creating tension and a 24-like urgency, but the central relationship feels a little forced, which undermines the show's entire premise.
Variety
Phil Gallo
As much as this wants to be a marriage of aspects of "The OC" and "NYPD Blue," it lacks an interesting ensemble, good acting or even a plausible plot.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Rob Owen
Livingston is a likable actor who deserves a TV hit, but here he's saddled with terrible material. His chemistry with DeWitt isn't exactly smoldering, either.
Washington Post
Tom Shales
Basic truths are a rare commodity in the script and performances that combine to make the series less entertainment than ordeal.
Boston Globe
Matthew Gilbert
Seriously, who ever thought that love spats + tense suicide-bomber situations = great weekly television?
New York Times
Alessandra Stanley
Chemistry is supposed to be the binding element of "Standoff," and the two leads, while appealing in their own right, seem neither well matched nor sufficiently mismatched.
San Francisco Chronicle
Tim Goodman
Here there's just a standoff between two actors and a flawed premise.
USA Today
Robert Bianco
It's hard to say what seems sillier: the show's misplaced attempts at comedy or the intuitive leaps that allow the agents to solve the case.
Wall Street Journal
Nancy DeWolf Smith
Unlike the serial dramas on offer this new season, "Standoff" wraps up a story each week. Yet the main thing in its favor is the chemical tension between its stars. That may not be enough, but it's something.
Entertainment Weekly
Gillian Flynn
Standoff doesn't re-create the genre, but it certainly refreshes it.
Christian Science Monitor
Gloria Goodale
The series' unique angle lends itself to interesting psychological drama as it explores the hows and whys of hostage negotiation -- even as it dishes out a heavy helping of FOX's de rigueur hoppin' hormones.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Melanie McFarland
Wait, wasn't Moonlighting funny? And sexy? And clever? Yeah. Standoff has none of that going for it.
