      Mekeisha Madden Toby TheWrap "The Messengers" is an appealing and entertaining cross between "Heroes" and "Supernatural" and has the potential to be just the hit The CW needs and viewers deserve. Aug 7, 2018 Full Review Ed Bark Uncle Barky The Messengers seems to have its sci-fi basics in order. Rated: B Apr 21, 2015 Full Review Robert Bianco USA Today It's clearly a letdown, and while letdowns in TV are not exactly shocking, they remain unwelcome. Apr 21, 2015 Full Review Sr. Rose Pacatte National Catholic Reporter The rapture is coming -- again Aug 11, 2017 Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette A general rule of thumb in TV reviewing: When press notes do a better job of explaining a show's intent than the show itself, viewers beware. Aug 13, 2015 Full Review Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media Fans of apocalypse tales will want to watch on. Rated: 3/5 Apr 26, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews

      Misty J This was an amazing show to bad they canceled. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Me and family bench watch the entire season and loved it. It would be great to have them return with more seasons, one is not enough. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review steve d With a strong premise and some great twists The Messengers is a show that should have had a much bigger audience. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member The messengers series showed up in my feed, and I decided to try it out. I was very underwhelmed. The concept was interesting, I suppose, but everything about it was shallow. The character development and choices/ emotions was sporadic, like the creator didn't know how they would act in certain situations. Every other scene would give me an eye roll or a cringe. The best description that I can give for this show is a PG 13 power rangers. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I loved this show... it I am so sad there wasn't another season 😢 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I thought this was a awesome show.
