Reviews: The Listener ‘nice but bland’

From John Doyle of the Globe and Mail:

  • The Listener is nice, but bland
    “This brings me to The Listener (CTV, 10 p.m.; NBC, Thursday, 9 p.m.) which is awfully nice but unbelievably bland. This is a pity, because it’s the second Canadian-made series in recent times to make the breakthrough and land on a U.S. network in prime time.” Read more.

From the New York Post:

  • WISH YOU WERE HEAR
    “For reasons too mysterious for the viewers to know — in the first two episodes, at any rate — said telepathy man keeps his extraordinary gift completely secret. Why? We don’t know, but seriously, with a talent like that, he could get his own TV show. Instead, the guy works as an EMS paramedic who rides around Toronto all day with an idiotic partner, aka ‘the comic relief.'” Read more.
