From Rob Salem of the Toronto Star:

• Ex-model cops new series role
  “In the seven years since the remarkable Lisa Marcos gave up modelling for acting, she has travelled the typical career path of almost every new Canadian actor, starting with anonymous walk-on roles in locally shot series, generically credited as “Bar Maid” and “Waitress” (Street Time), “Concerned Nurse” (Tarzan), “Attractive Nurse” (Wonderfalls) and “Bride” (The Visual Bible).” Read more.

• The Listener: I’m An Adult Now Review
  “After watching the premiere episode, I’m an Adult Now, I was reminded more of the cult CBS series Early Edition than of any superhero programming” Read more.

From TV Squad:

• The Listener – An early look
  “The producers of The Listener, a new NBC semi-supernatural drama created in Canada, seemingly spent too much time “listening” to moody, do-gooder predecessors such as Medium or Ghost Whisperer. The end result is just a little too familiar to generate much excitement.” Read more.

From Ginia Bellafante of the New York Times (second item):

• Reading Minds, Healing Millionaires
  “The Listener is plagued by the same gloomy lack of urgency that afflicts Flashpoint, the S.W.A.T.-team series also with a CTV lineage, on CBS. What’s happening to Canadian television?” Read more.

From Daniel Carlson of the Hollywood Reporter:

• TV Review: The Listener
  “The problem is that Toronto is used as a location substitute for everywhere because it doesn’t look like anywhere, which means that setting a drama series there — even one as fanciful as Listener — saddles the story with an unshakable tone of alienation. Distributed overseas via Fox International Channels, Listener is a serviceable supernatural drama with legitimate narrative potential that’s undercut by its visually bland presentation and geographically nonspecific execution. ” Read more.

From Rick Porter at Zap2It:

• ‘The Listener’ review
  “The Listener will be the last drama to air at 10 p.m. Thursdays on NBC for a long time. That’s not the show’s fault — it’s just holding the fort till Jay Leno comes along in September.” Read more.
