An engrossing, emotional drama full of intriguing characters. [15 Sep 1994]

In its pilot episode, Chicago Hope looked smart but trite — Trapper John, M.D. with book-learnin'. ... [But David E.] Kelley's writing in [the second] episode is worth any number of Picket Fences.

By telling one or two stories well, from beginning to end, "Chicago Hope" gets a tighter grip on the viewer's emotions [than "ER"]. [22 Sep 1994]

Down deep, however, this is the old, highly workable stuff, tidily refurbished. [12 Sep 1994]

Very slick and very shiny, full of impassioned confrontations and noble utterances. [17 Sep 1994]

Somber and uncompromising. ... Despite its high-powered actors (Adam Arkin and Hector Elizondo also work at this hospital) and highfalutin executive producer, David E. Kelley (Picket Fences, L.A. Law), the show's a storehouse of cliches. [15 Sep 1994]
