Alicia I love this movie so much

PlatinumRead Just so...so bad

Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

bvandyck Crossing Jordan takes "artistic license" to the level of absurdity. It also presents disappointingly predictable plots, and most of its characters are simply unlikeable.Jordan (the star) is a self-centered, non-committal, irrational jerk that would be fired from any job in a real or even semi-real world.Dr. Macy (the boss) is a chronically morose individual that should be taking psycho-therapeutic medication to make him socially functional.Detective Woody (the irritatingly on again, off again love interest) is a character that epitomizes the show's writer's irrational sense of drama.Lily (the grief councilor) is an overly emotional character the wears thin pretty quickly.Nigel and Bug (supporting MEs) are the plot's magical advancement tools and comedic relief. They have superhuman scientific and computer skills and are the most likable and rational characters in the show.Unbelievably, all other characters that are introduced to the show are presented as very unlikable people.Frankly, the show is poorly written with over exaggerated drama. My wife enjoys the show and I have watched just over 100 episodes with her and I enjoyed it until the characters developed to the point where it became impossible to have any empathy for them. They are irritatingly dysfunctional and disappointingly predictable.

Elaine Barker Crossing Jordan was a show like no other. From the characters to the story lines, it was wonderful. It tackled serious issues with sensitivity and even appropriate humor. The main cast was all together from the first season on. Jill Hennessy, Miguel Ferrer, Jerry O'Connell, Kathryn Hahn, Steve Valentine, and Ravi Kapoor each portrayed very different characters but did an excellent job in doing so and all appeared to have great chemistry on screen.I only wish that upon the series finale they had tied up all loose ends, but since they didn't, the finale ended in a way I could live with.I eagerly await season one on DVD (Feb, 2008!) Thank you to all the wonderful writers, crew, and actors who worked on this wonderful show. It will always be special to me!

Peter Maranci The series is supposedly set in Boston, but is about as authentically Bostonian as a Philly cheese steak (I think it's mostly filmed in Toronto - it's DEFINITELY not filmed in Boston). Apart from that, I found it painfully predictable. Some episodes haven't just *blurred* the line between real science and the supernatural, they've plowed up the ground that the line was drawn on and dynamited the underlying bedrock.In other words, for a show which purports to have a mystery element, the writers simply don't play fair with the viewers.The show also suffers from more than a tinge of "Providence" syndrome - the heroine is SOOO perfect (albeit in a "bad girl" way), almost always right when she bucks the system (except for a few "very special" plots where she makes a mistake and Learns Something About Herself), and every man is in love with her. Annoying! I did like the characters of Bug and Nigel. They were funny and well-acted. But they don't make up for poor writing and utterly stale plots.

johnfuen My first reaction when I caught my first episode of "Crossing Jordan" was that this show was going to be kind of "Quincy" on estrogen. Now after watching this show for a couple of seasons, I have to say that my original impression was selling this show short.The ensemble cast of Jill Hennesey, Mel Ferrer, Kathyrn Hahn, Steven Valentine, Ravi Kapoor, and Jerry O'Connell represent one of the strongest in recent dramas since E.R. The characters played by these actors and actresses are well written and you really care about them.The mystery aspect of the show is good, but its the characters that make the show so good.
