      Ed Bark Uncle Barky The Code, which is both nicely produced and also thoroughly predictable, looks destined to likewise get a Season Two. Rated: C+ May 3, 2019 Full Review Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times While it's a little unfair to call "The Code" the thinking person's "JAG," it does continue "The Good Wife's" conscious, one might even say mindful, engagement with more or less current events, hot-button issues and ethical brain teasers. Apr 9, 2019 Full Review Dan Fienberg Hollywood Reporter There's nothing CBS procedurals enjoy quite as much as wasting Broadway stars in roles that don't let them sing. Apr 9, 2019 Full Review Tim Appelo AARP Movies for Grownups It's hard to imagine The Code won't please its eager audience. Jul 10, 2019 Full Review Dale McGarrigle TV Fanatic Executive Producer Craig Turk has a strong track record on such series as The Good Wife and Private Practice. The Code has the potential to become another such riveting series. Rated: 4.25/5 May 20, 2019 Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media Military legal drama has violence, mature themes.

      Audience Member I really enjoyed the show, good for a family to watch together. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Good story lines...Wiill never understand how this one got cancelled ! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I think this was a great show. Why are you canceling it? Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member *Tackles Interesting and varied topics. *Upbeat and somehow makes me happy not left morose after it's over like a majority of shows today in order to claim they are "keeping it real'. If I wanted to feel emotionally exhausted and saturnine after the unfortunate mode many shows have adopted today since the killing off of Sean Bean in GOT, I would read the newspaper. *Pleasant, talented, and professional cast which appears to have meshed quickly and well. *I appreciate the show's efforts to dress and groom the characters appropriately. I know for many who are not in the military, we are captivated by all the insignia, bars, medals, and honors displayed in a specific fashion and follow a detailed protocol. However, I do not understand why the show's runner does not have knowledgable military personnel directly consulting and involved with these types of very important details. I believe this would truly help this fascinating and enjoyable show to 5 star for me. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I really enjoyed this show because while it is similar to some on air today, it was about US Marines in uniform making a difference. Really sad to see this go. Disappointed USAF vet. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Awesome show! Why do you always cancel the shows that people love?
