- Critics' reviews
-
-
"With the mix of bizarre cases and believably goofy characters, I found already I never wanted the show to end. It's great stuff working on three levels at once"
-
"Although some may find this creation of David E. Kelley, the wizard behind 'L.A. Law,' too weird, I think it's wonderful."
-
"'Picket Fences' clearly aims to be a kinder, gentler [Twin] Peaks, but the goosey, paradoxical mood for which it strives — heartwarming creepiness — is, at this point, more of a turnoff than a turn-on.
-
"The tone can be darkly comic, even nasty, also sweetly sentimental, even corny. Picket Fences is idiosyncratic, unpredictable and fun fun fun to watch."
-
"'Picket Fences' seems to have no reason for existence other than for a very smart writer to test just how smart he is. In this case, too smart by half."
-
"A rather bent sense of humor -- woven into a nice little whodunit -- is what lifts the flawed-but-engaging premiere of 'Picket Fences' above the ordinary"
-
"Creator Kelley delights in making fun of his characters, and he can't sustain the bizarre tone. "
