The writers and directors do a sometimes routine, sometimes solid job of making something as atypical as an imprisoned innocent seem believable in the world of fictional network television. |

New York Daily News David Hinckley
The chemistry among the leads isn't fully there, and the trail of clues, at least in the opening two episodes, relies on a lot of serendipity and improbable deductive work. But "In Justice" is a watchable show. |

New York Post Linda Stasi
The acting is quite good, despite the fact that everyone is the same age, not particularly interesting, or even odd, and are all startlingly good-looking. The writing is good, if you can get past some cheesy dialogue. |

Chicago Tribune Sid Smith
Though reminiscent of other TV fare, though standard in dialogue, plotting and performances, "In Justice" does boast a touch of originality by examining not only investigators, victims and criminals, but innocent bystanders ensnared in the crime web as well. |

Hollywood Reporter Barry Garron
If anything, "In Justice" tries too hard. |

Los Angeles Times Robert Lloyd
The show's shifts in tone can seem ungainly; the comedy, of which there is more than usual in such shows, sometimes rubs uncomfortably against the premise.... Yet the show is best when it's funniest. |

Detroit Free Press Mike Duffy
So MacLachlan's enjoyable. The supporting cast is OK. And the unconventional premise is rather promising. Now it's up to the producers to give "In Justice" a more distinctive dramatic zing. |

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Rob Owen
Perfectly adequate. |

Seattle Post-Intelligencer Melanie McFarland
Rote as this seems, it's difficult to judge the series too harshly. It has the barest basics in its favor -- the cast works and the writing is acceptable. |

USA Today Robert Bianco
Unfortunately, none of the characters is interesting enough to paper over the holes in the plot. |

Variety Phil Gallo
A model of midseason mediocrity, an hourlong that neither excites nor bores, driven by professional if uninspired acting, writing and direction. |

Boston Globe Matthew Gilbert
The regular characters are generic, and the plots are filled with holes. But as a mindless TV distraction bent on reminding us that the justice system is not perfect, ''In Justice" will do. |

Washington Post Tom Shales
It's an imitation of something already being imitated here, there and everywhere. |

Newsday Verne Gay
It's bland, tired, listless, and if the show isn't having much fun, how can it expect viewers to? |

San Francisco Chronicle Tim Goodman
"In Justice" is a mess -- and it will take at least two additional episodes to find out which direction the show is going and whether that direction is an improvement. |

Philadelphia Inquirer Jonathan Storm
All sorts of things in In Justice... don't make sense. |
