Critics' reviews

"While it is quite silly, it's silly in a clever and engaging way, which is the signature style of its creator, Matt Nix"

Alessandra Stanley: The New York Times
"The show pushes its formula just past zany and lands in the far more appealing territory of downright absurd."

Salon
"As straight man and wild card combos go, Hanks and Whitford are well-matched, though 'The Good Guys' really belongs to Whitford. He appears to be having so much fun that it's simply infectious."

Maureen Ryan: Chicago Tribune
"As a quirky cross between Reynolds' Gator McKlusky and John Cazale's Fredo Corleone, Whitford pretty much hijacks the show. He's fun to watch, even if the show will knock your IQ down a few points."

Newsday
"The device of jumping backward and forward in time provides a jarring sense of raucous suspense while also keeping things light, and there's no lack of tossed-off lines and information handed out like candy."

Randee Dawn: The Hollywood Reporter
"The humor is madcap and inane where it should be wry, and the characters are stubbornly predictable. The editing of the show is swift and bouncy, as it is on 'Burn Notice,' but still the hour drags. It's just not much fun."

Matthew Gilbert: Boston Globe
"'Good Guys' isn't a perfect construct, but it's a well-executed one--albeit more a breezy, busy diversion than appointment TV, placing greater reliance on guests than its limited supporting cast to prop up the principals."

Brian Lowry: Variety
