      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      A promising premise can't save Eureka, a series that borrows excessively from other shows without putting enough effort into its own colorful cast of characters.

      Kelly Lawler USA Today This delightful Syfy series creates a world in which the greatest minds on Earth are gathered in one small Pacific Northwest town... Nov 10, 2021 Full Review Hal Boedeker Orlando Sentinel The series serves up creepy special effects, dicey experiments and outlandish gadgets. Yet Eureka finds a pleasing way to weave in sentiment without turning mushy. Feb 13, 2020 Full Review Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times It's an uneven show that lacks the finely crafted eccentricity of a "Northern Exposure" and "Twin Peaks" or "Picket Fences" (other strange-small-town shows featuring police officers), but when I say "uneven," I do mean that sometimes it's good. Feb 13, 2020 Full Review Will Harris Bullz-Eye.com Although almost all of the episodes of "Eureka" provide considerable enjoyment, it's probably the last of the season, "Once in a Lifetime," that packs the biggest emotional punch. Rated: 4/5 Feb 13, 2020 Full Review Rick Porter Hartford Courant A good bit of the show's charm stems from its relatively simple setup. Feb 13, 2020 Full Review Bill Gibron PopMatters Eureka lifts material from a dozen other sci-fi shows (and the occasional Northern Exposure-eque drama), so the result seems recycled. In the realm of the mastermind, originality still means something. Rated: 4/10 May 23, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

      D L Love this show! What a hidden gem! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/12/24 Full Review diane h This was a fun, addictive show. I binged watched all five seasons in the evenings, and I was sad when it was over. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Drôle, décalé et pertinent ! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Though I just discovered this series, it is one of my favorites now. Well done! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I watched the first two eps of Terra Nova and was so bored I didn't finish the second. I watch the Magicians and felt the same. I watched the first half of ep 01 of Eureka and was seriously entertained. Great writing. great acting. great actors. Humour. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member This show was amazing. I don't see why Rotten Tomatoes continues to get off on "critics" who just say they hate everything even when the general public obviously love it! So, is it just that the hipster reviewers are somehow in on something the rest of us don't get because we're not edgy enough? Or, more likely, is it just that they want to pretend that nothing that appeals to a wider audience is any good? Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
