Philadelphia Inquirer by Jonathan Storm
A meaty drama in the same vein as The Shield, where some of the police are perps and there's no telling who's on the up-and-up.

Deseret News by Scott D. Pierce
It looks like one of the better original offerings on any of the broadcast networks this summer.

Miami Herald by Glenn Garvin
The Bridge is pure melodrama, its villainous commanders and politicians practically twirling their mustaches as they plot their evil deeds. But if The Bridge won't expand your knowledge of urban-management science, it will keep you glued to the set.

Philadelphia Daily News by Ellen Gray
People who like their stories wrapped up neatly in 44 minutes or so (yes, I\'m looking at you, CBS viewers) may find this one a Bridge too far, but for anyone who likes their cops complicated and their plots twisted, there are worse ways to spend a Saturday night.

Los Angeles Times by Mary McNamara
Although overblown in message and action, The Bridge is well-performed and worth watching if only to see if it will stand by its thesis: that real change comes from people working together.

New York Daily News by David Hinckley
While the execution isn't perfect and the first episode feels a little cluttered, it has at least two ideas that create interesting drama and could even stimulate a little thought.

The Hollywood Reporter by Randee Dawn
There are intriguing elements amid the clutter: Policeman Frank Leo (Aaron Douglas) is a beefy, moral man of the people who in the process of rallying the troops becomes a target for the police brass.

The New York Times by Mike Hale
The series is in the "NYPD Blue" and "Southland" vein, trying for realism. It isn't in those shows' league, but it's a welcome change from the glossy triviality of other summer filler like "Rookie Blue" or "The Good Guys."

Variety by Geoffrey Berkshire
There's something intriguing about a summer show that is at once too complicated in storytelling and too simplistic in aesthetics to comfortably mesh with CBS' flashy procedural-stacked lineup.
