The Guardian • Season 1 Ratings & Reviews
San Francisco Chronicle
John Carman
One of the interesting things about [Nick] Fallin is that he seems to have an active inner life. But The Guardian lets you know he's a force when provoked, whether in the boardroom or in the less decorative hallways of children's court.
South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Tom Jicha
Viewers will find it very easy to embrace the star of The Guardian, Simon Baker, and the character he plays, Nick Fallin. Audiences are suckers for stories of personal redemption and prodigal sons seeing the light. Nick qualifies on both counts.
New York Post
Austin Smith
[Simon Baker] has emerged this season as one of TV's most compelling new faces.
Entertainment Weekly
Ken Tucker
The thing is, [Simon] Baker's look of perpetual woundedness is actually very effective. Watched week after week, his inner suffering becomes compelling.
Buffalo News
Alan Pergament
With a strong supporting cast and an involving opening script told stylishly, The Guardian makes an hour of television seem like 39 minutes.
Los Angeles Times
Howard Rosenberg
The writing is uneven... Making The Guardian watchable, though, is the quiet charisma and measured work of Baker
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
John Levesque
[We don't like] the rudderless feel, and the sense that nobody seems to be all that happy to be doing this show.
USA Today
Robert Bianco
One-note peevishness is pretty much all Baker conveys. You could get the impression he had been sentenced to do this show.
People Magazine
Terry Kelleher
Tinkering around the edges won't be enough to ensure The Guardian's future if Baker's performance remains a void at the center of the drama.
Chicago Tribune
Steve Johnson
The problem here is that the producers think the point of the show is not the kids or their hard-luck cases but to provide as many close-up shots as possible of what they consider to be Baker's exceptionally handsome mug.
New York Daily News
David Bianculli
Because Baker's Fallin is such a stereotype, the only mystery surrounding The Guardian is why it was made in the first place.
Variety
Michael Speier
This legal drama, though powered by a terrific perf from fresh face Simon Baker, feels a bit late to the "ex parte."
New York Times
Anita Gates
The show has an admirable energy, but there's also an offensive smugness that it will have to do a lot to overcome.
Orlando Sentinel
Hal Boedeker
The Guardian is utterly predictable and suffers for it.
Washington Post
Tom Shales
The character and the show sneak up on you in clever, unexpected ways and prove a gratifying surprise.
Boston Phoenix
Joyce Millman
The show's emotional flashpoints creep up on you rather than knock you over the head.
