Mr. Urich is the perfect television-series star, appealing without being overwhelming or threatening.

Howard Rosenberg · Los Angeles Times 30.00/100.00

Spenser is played by Robert Urich, a capable actor who you always feel should be doing something better than he's doing, but he never does. The show is shot in Boston and has a nice cinematic look. But the writing is so bad and the role so camp that you could substitute Bill Murray for Urich and not miss a beat.
