[GI Jim] Ellison sniffs out serial bombers and terrorists in an exciting but hyperactive series.

The budget appears to be lavish for explosives and almost nil for writers since almost nothing in the first two scripts made any sense at all.

It's certainly not the slickest or most exciting cop show you'll ever see, but it comes with a cool enough gimmick to keep you entertained.

With [Richard] Burgi soberly underplaying Ellison as a perplexed, vulnerable protagonist, "The Sentinel" is still swimming in intriguing murkiness. Inevitably, though, formulaic TV intervenes.
July 30, 2019
Writing is sharp, direction is snappy, and actors perform to maximum effect. [Richard] Burgi conveys complexities of Ellison's confusion and efforts to cope with what's happening to him, and [Garett] Maggart is a good foil.
