Season 1 Reviews
Variety
Aramide Tinubu
While the true culprits of the crimes are usually glaringly obvious, a few stunners here and there make "The Irrational" enjoyable primetime viewing. It's a classic drama that viewers can dive in and out of without missing a beat.
Newsday
Verne Gay
Overall, "The Irrational" is decently acted, competently written, and adequately directed. You will learn fun things, and presumably true ones, about behavioral science, as well as its forensic applications in police work.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
"The Irrational" works because it has a likable cast and reasonably tight plotting, even if every episode so far seems to rush to its conclusion.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
Martin is good enough company to carry his part of the bargain, but only those really hungry for another variation on The Mentalist or Castle, Psych or Numb3rs will find much to latch onto here.
Hollywood Reporter
Angie Han
Despite a likable lead turn by Martin, it's difficult not to notice how un-special this story of a supposedly special detective feels.
TheWrap
Thelma Adams
[Martin] can do a star's heavy-lifting of the narrative arc without breaking a sweat. But this behavioral science specialty becomes the juicy spinal fluid in an otherwise dry, run-of-the-mill series.
Chicago Tribune
Nina Metz
It's neither visually distinctive nor does it have the light-touch pacing that shows like this thrive on. Even so, Martin is the kind of actor who makes you think, well, maybe I'll keep watching.
San Francisco Chronicle
Zaki Hasan
A weak procedural that's undeserving of the efforts by its leading man to elevate the material.
Pajiba
Jen Maravegias
Irrational is a "just fine" show that hits above its weight because of its lead. Come for Martin showing off his strong leading-man vibe. Stay for the middling mysteries and sharp outfits.
TV Insider
Matt Roush
Thankfully, Martin rarely sheds his cool-cat persona, even when, to the dismay of his FBI agent ex-wife (Maahra Hill), he risks his neck to crack a case. Sounds irrational, but that's how Mercer rolls.
Common Sense Media
Monique Jones
A twist on the usual procedural...
Decider
Joel Keller
The Irrational works mainly because of Martin and the backstory he has with Hill's character and the bombing case. The mysteries themselves are pretty bad, but that will matter less if the continuing story is good.
What To Watch
Sarabeth Pollock
NBC's newest crime series might have a familiar premise, but Jesse L. Martin's delivery elevates it to something really special.
Paste Magazine
Rory Doherty
The Irrational commits the cardinal sin of any expertise-driven procedural -- the audience feels a step or two ahead of the writing. We can see the moves it's trying to make a mile off.
TV Guide
Kyle Fowle
At the very least, Jesse L. Martin brings gravitas to the lead role. The TV vet is doing his damnedest to elevate what's otherwise very thin, silly material.
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
Rob Owen
It's as pedestrian a procedural as NBC's "Found", but with a less heightened twist.
TV Line
Dave Nemetz
It's not bad, exactly, but it's not good, either: a stubbornly mediocre procedural that actually has a half-decent hook, but squanders it with thin characterization and too-convenient plot twists.
