Reviews
- "Julianna Margulies now gets to command the screen in something juicier than the usual procedural."—Entertainment Weekly
- "This is a good, old-fashioned legal procedural with few special effects but quite a lot of serious, adult writing."—Christian Science Monitor
- ""Canterbury's Law" is a Frankenstein's monster of a dozen cop/law shows, a pale, lurching version of the flawed and fascinating women who are taking back television like so many modern Cagneys and Laceys."—LA Times
