Critical reception
''Kate Brasher'' received mixed-to-negative reviews. Critics often praised Mary Stuart Masterson's performance and the series' intentions while finding its storytelling didactic and its characters overly schematic.
Anita Gates of the New York Times wrote that the series had an appealing cast and generally did not insult viewers intelligence, but that its characters were "100 percent good" figures who delivered self-righteous speeches. She argued that the show strained to be quirky, to create a chaotic atmosphere reminiscent of "ER" and to be both uplifting and cynical.
Ken Tucker of Entertainment Weekly described it as mixing an "Eri Brockovich" vibe with a "Touched by an Angel" aura and called the result "hokum thats beneath [Masterson's] talents"
Joan Ostrow of The Denver Post found it more self-righteous and preachy than CBS's "That's Life", likening the tone to "Touched by a Social Worker"
Scott D. Pierce of the Deseret News wrote that the serise was "loaded with good intentions" but "heavy-handed and cliched"
