"Writers Zak Penn and Michael Karnow bring a few fresh wrinkles to "Alphas," largely by making this latest elite team extraordinary, but also quite vulnerable."

—

Variety

"It is inventively engaging and a good way of establishing the tone for the 12-episode season."

—

San Francisco Chronicle

"It's neither here nor there: low on sci-fi mystery and intrigue and not yet convincing as ensemble drama. Right now it feels like the beta version."

—

The New York Times

"[The writers'] take on human nature may develop, but right now it's cartoonish in the worst way and too reminiscent of similar shows."

—

The New Yorker

"Alphas is a good place to get a nice summer TV-fix for those seeking some superpowered entertainment with a more down-to-earth appeal."

—

IGN

"Penn's script, though often more functional than deft, moves things along at a brisk pace, and the actors have solid chemistry and make for a fun team."
