      Tony Scott Variety Writer James Kramer has penned a shrewd murder mystery as the series' first entry; it's starting off on the right foot. Jun 21, 2019 Full Review David Mills Washington Post Diagnosis Murder, with its old-fashioned narrative style and its vaguely silly title, is nevertheless fairly well put together and should satisfy undemanding viewers in search of undemanding entertainment. Jun 20, 2019 Full Review Ken Tucker Entertainment Weekly All Diagnosis Murder wants to do is please an audience of older viewers, renew their TV friendship with Van Dyke, and give the star's son Barry, who plays a vacant-eyed cop, some work. Jun 20, 2019 Full Review Bullz-Eye Staff Bullz-Eye.com I only lasted three episodes, personally. It's just too...well, you can't argue with the adjective. It is zany. Just not the good kind of zany Rated: 2/5 Jun 20, 2019 Full Review Scott D. Pierce Deseret News (Salt Lake City) This is a nice, entertaining little show that doesn't break any new ground but provides a bit of a diversion as Sloan solves contrived but interesting little murders. Jun 20, 2019 Full Review Chris Hicks Deseret News (Salt Lake City) With [Dick] Van Dyke and an enjoyable supporting cast onboard, it's light, gentle, goes-down-easy entertainment. And there's nothing wrong with that. Jun 20, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
