There's more rapid-fire walk-and-talks than Aaron Sorkin ever crammed into The Newsroom.

This is a series worth tracking down and watching. If you laugh, that's a bonus.
January 14, 2015
A layered analysis of a failing system, and - true to its satirical inception - no one is let off the hook.
January 15, 2015
Despite the show's energy and good cast, there's a slightly anticlimactic feel to the whole enterprise.

It was an enjoyable, if somewhat flawed offering that brimmed with poignancy and darkness.

I still consider it my duty to inform you when there is a new show you absolutely HAVE to watch. And Babylon ... is one of those shows. Sorry, everybody. Add it to your queue. It's like The Wire meets In the Loop meets The IT Crowd.
January 09, 2015
The slow transition of Babylon from comedy to drama makes the series itself something of a public-relations problem. Fortunately, we don't need to spin or label it, other than to say that it's good.
October 25, 2016
The show moves at a clipped pace so we never dwell for too long -- and it's certainly ballsy in facing uncomfortable police issues head-on with such biting wit.
August 10, 2017
The biggest problem was that none of the characters was engaging enough to make you care about them -- from the chief all the way down to the dimwit new recruit.
January 06, 2015
Babylon delivers a mixed bag in which it's deceptively simple to applaud the effort to handle the bizarre intersection of publicity and policing, and yet that attempt doesn't make it entertaining or insightful on its own.
January 15, 2015
If you're looking for a solid cop show from across the pond, you will definitely find it here.
January 08, 2015
By attempting to straddle two very different genres at once, it undermines the effectiveness of both forms of entertainment. It isn't necessarily a fatal problem, but it's one that will hopefully be ameliorated in the rest of the show's short season.
