Posted on Sep 11, 2010

As it is, The Gates doesn't even pass muster as a spooky-fun summer series; it's just another failed attempt by ABC to recreate something it couldn't wait to kill the first time around.... Read More

Mark A. Perigard's review of The Gates for Boston Herald

Posted on Sep 11, 2010

The Gates is ultimately just another literary mashup with the undead, like Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice” tweaked with zombies, only here it’s a stifling John Cheever story with bloodsuckers.... Read More

Posted on Sep 11, 2010

The Gates feels like it’s been pieced together from so many other shows that it resembles the one monster that’s not been included: Frankenstein.... Read More

Scott D. Pierce's review of The Gates for Deseret News

Posted on Sep 11, 2010

To be perfectly honest, it's a little easier to be forgiving of a series that's airing original episodes in the summer. Maybe it will settle down a bit and turn into something a little better. I'll gi... Read More

Matthew Gilbert's review of The Gates for Boston Globe

Posted on Sep 11, 2010

It’s a gathering of familiar material that never quite distinguishes itself. I’d say the show is a “mash-up’’ of its many influences, but that word implies intentionality and he Gates seems more like ... Read More

Robert Bianco's review of The Gates for USA Today

If only it felt inspired, rather than like a Desperate Weirdwives rehash of every vampire, werewolf and witch story you've ever heard and every family soap you've seen.... Read More

Verne Gay's review of The Gates for Newsday

Posted on Sep 11, 2010

Oh, sure, they can pierce necks and drink blood: Big deal! Any ol' vampire can do that. With a limited repertoire of vampire moves, the Radcliffs shoulda moved to Bon Temps instead of the Gates to lea... Read More

The Gates, on the other hand, starts off with an even greater number of well-worn characters and storylines, but writers Richard Hatem and Grant Scharbo infuse them with a lot more life and a surprisi... Read More

Ginia Bellafante's review of The Gates for The New York Times

Posted on Sep 11, 2010

The Gates is a satire--a cheaply enjoyable one--of suburban lust and maternal anxiety, psycho-social forces that delivered previous generations of women to the pages of Betty Friedan (or Redbook) but ... Read More

Brian Lowry's review of The Gates for Variety

Posted on Sep 11, 2010

Beyond the "Dark Shadows"-type atmosphere, The Gates is blessed with an attractive cast, many of whom have affiliations with past ABC dramas....The question is how long the show can get by on those as... Read More

Maureen Ryan's review of The Gates for Chicago Tribune

Posted on Sep 11, 2010

The Gates actually moves along at a brisk enough clip, and though it's bland around the edges, it introduces enough mysteries to keep things more or less interesting (there are allusions to a "code" r... Read More

Posted on Sep 11, 2010

Scoundrels, at 9 p.m., and The Gates, at 10, may not be exactly the stuff you can't wait another week for, but both are watchable and fun, part of a big ABC effort to put something new, if not origina... Read More
