United States | The Washington Post | "The character and the show sneak up on you in clever, unexpected ways and prove a gratifying surprise." | POS |
United States | Newsday | "Tonight's opening episode of The Guardian is as well-crafted as any of this fall's series pilots. The hour plays like a tidy little TV movie." | POS |
United States | The New York Times | "The show has an admirable energy, but there's also an offensive smugness that it will have to do a lot to overcome." | NEU |
