Hennessy is a cheering sight merely by virtue of her telegenic beauty, but in short order she's showing us beauty of that proverbial deeper kind.

Mar 29, 2022

The mystery in the first episode contains some nice reverses, and the fact that it's not quite resolved in the end promises that "Jordan" at least intends to deliver something more than the rote 60-minute mystery of less-ambitious cop shows. [24 Sep 2001]

Mar 29, 2022

The hokum factor is pretty high, but Hennessy is a nice combination of pert and sour, her primary co-stars are solid and the premise is functional. [24 Sep 2001]

Mar 29, 2022

Here is a series you want to like, if only it will let you.

Mar 29, 2022

The show’s plots — standard suspense fare so far — are warm comfort food for mystery buffs.

Mar 29, 2022

Jordan may be many things, but nothing about it is interesting.

Mar 29, 2022

Mostly, Crossing Jordan comes off like a lighter, jokier version of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, last season's surprise hit. The triteness engulfs appealing Hennessy and her co-stars. [16 Sep 2001, p.4]
