Stories shouldn't end as neatly as the one in the pilot, but [Jillian Hennessy] has the talent to carry this show by her lonesome.
November 16, 2018
Jill Hennessy, the star of NBC's new drama Crossing Jordan, was not for the tiniest fraction of a single second of the first two episodes even the slightest bit convincing in the role.
January 08, 2020
The medical drama is leavened by some nice comic flourishes. Hennessy shows a streak of comic sensibility that she couldn't have learned at "Law & Order."
January 02, 2020
[Jill] Hennessy has the strength to be a leading lady, but she's up to her neck in ghoulishness.
November 16, 2018
With twisty plots, unlikely coincidences and no pretension to realism, Crossing Jordan is as satisfying as an Agatha Christie novel.
November 16, 2018
The problem is, [Jordan] comes off as a list of adjectives pitched to a Hollywood executive rather than a believable character worth spending time with.
November 16, 2018
While the idea of a strong female lead in a traditionally male role is appealing, the writing is unfortunately treacly. Mix the corny sentimentality with the graphically brutal violence of the weekly storylines, and the result is ugly.
November 16, 2018
Jordan Cavannaugh is relatable only in small doses.
February 04, 2019
Noth is one of the most dependable, appealing actors working the tube. The only shortcoming of his guest shot on Crossing Jordan is that he isn't in it enough.
November 16, 2018
Hennessy has the feistiness the lead role requires, and Miguel Ferrer bears watching as her tense, neurotic supervisor. Too bad the first couple of cases were too easily cracked.
January 02, 2020
"Every body tells a story," Jordan says. That's certainly true of Crossing Jordan, which never has a life of its own.
November 16, 2018
Hennessy and Ferrer aside, however, why doesn't Crossing Jordan quite work? Perhaps because tonight's story has open seams and is essentially predictable... Here is a series you want to like, if only it will let you.
