The Chicago Tribune's The Watcher TV blog has a decent (but not effusive) review of Eureka here. Mo Ryan views it as a rather innocuous summer series that she found more enjoyable from the first two eps of this season than the few she saw last summer, and she had some nice things to say about certain actors:
The best things about “Eureka” are Colin Ferguson as Eureka’s occasionally frazzled but always reliable sheriff, Jack Carter, and Joe Morton as scientist/tinkerer Henry Deacon. Ferguson has a deft way with the show’s lighter comedic aspects, and his character is a very likable, pleasant presence.
Morton gives the show some much-needed dramatic weight as a scientist who’s lost the love of his life to an experiment gone awry. The rest of the show may be a little too “X-Files lite” for me at times, but these two actors make it worth tuning in to “Eureka” -- if slightly fantastical, escapist science fiction is your thing.

Ooo! We saw a big ol' Eureka billboard the other day right by our house. "Hey, that's Colin!" we both said. Made me happy to see him up there.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Finished the season 1 Eureka DVDs this evening -- just in time for season 2 to start!
Good stuff.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Well, three episodes into Eureka (and I've seen two others on SciFi during its run), and I have to say that I adore it.
I do plan to watch the S2 premiere despite not having seen every episode. Or is this a very bad idea?

I'm not sure how many events during the latter half of the first season are going to be referenced! There was quite a lot of things that could be considered important to the characters, especially Henry.
I really am looking forward to the premiere tonight!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
While Things Have Happened, I think that the season premieres are exactly the right place to dab a new toe in the water.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The premiere tonight will pack more of a punch if you've seen the S1 finale, but IIRC there are previouslies that should catch you up as long as you've seen enough eps to know who everyone is.

Tonight! Yay. I might even make it home in time to watch live.
Hmmm, content, content... yeah, no.

Huge kudos to CFerg for the additional podcast/commentary for the pilot that made it onto the DVDs.
The deleted scenes that covered the reordering of the show were also great. IMHO Eureka is still best viewed in it's original intended order. The progression of Carter's relationships with Zoe and Joe make much more sense.
Looking forward to the S2 premier.
