Blurb reviews for Gardenia

From Robert Bianco, USA Today:
A tragedy forces Karen to confront her growing depression in a Once and Again outing (ABC, Friday, 9 p.m. ET/PT) that should provide a welcome showcase for the wonderful Susanna Thompson and may help garner some of the awards attention that she so richly deserves. The episode also features another singing turn by the remarkable Evan Rachel Wood, who tackles Billie Holiday's God Bless the Child.

From Laurel Krahn, TVpicks.net:
Bad things happen to Karen (but you knew that was coming, right?) on Once and Again (ABC, 8pm; airs again next Friday at 10pm on Lifetime). Still one of the best dramas on the air. It's amazing how a show can have such a large cast and I'm always pleased each week no matter which character is in the spotlight-- 'cuz they're all so good. Good actors, good characters . . . and the key is the good writing.

From the Baltimore Sun:
Karen is overcome with depression, and Jessie and Eli aren't sure how to handle it.
