TheBlacklist on Vengeance:
“Conceptually, the idea of a therapist brainwashing her clients and using them as assassins is absolutely interesting. It manages to have a built-in idea of freshness every week as [she] uses hypnotism to get what she wants. The script takes a surprising dark twist on that idea when it comes to her and the relationship with her husband; and really brings to question her morality in the entire story. Sarah is a very interesting character in that regard: so focused on vengeance that she unwillingly, and sometimes willingly, can harm the people around her. The writing excels with action with flair and style. Fight sequences and tense shootouts, the understanding of pace and momentum to always keep the action moving and utilizing the environmental space to keep it interesting are all done very well. It is able to portray villains to be detestable with brutal violence, but also offers an interesting look at the lead villain, Johnny, and his son. That story parallels that of Sarah's and her son nicely and humanizes them both.”

BlueCat on Vengeance:
A strong opening... built intrigue, and memorably introduced the protagonist. The pilot quickly established an intricate story world, genre, and tone.
