Glen Weldon NPR 1d
This is a very, very funny -- frequently hilarious -- series that prizes well-written, well-timed, well-delivered jokes, and that knows how to use its actors to serve them up in the best way possible. Go to Full Review Verne Gay Newsday Feb 24
2/4
A consistently sharp, amusing show. Go to Full Review Matt Goldberg TheWrap Feb 24
4/5
It feels like there’s more than enough here to keep the show running as comforting sitcom that forges an identity separate from that of "30 Rock." Go to Full Review Dana Han-Klein We're Watching What?! 5d
This will fill the 30 Rock sized hole in your heart. Starting with episode 2 the show hits an incredible stride with esoteric and delightful humor, endearing cast chemistry, and a perfect pinch of chaos. Go to Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Tribune-Review 6d
Yeah, it’s what Morgan always plays, but he’s great at it -- surrounded by smarter, more put-together characters who ultimately reveal themselves to be as fallible as Reggie. Go to Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com Feb 26
5/5
…an invigoratingly brisk and consistently funny comedy about delulu sports-star vanity…it’s great to see Tracy Morgan, Daniel Radcliffe, and Erika Alexander in full comic flight, with a great assist from Bobby Moynihan… Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Maxwell B @Max-b 6h it's a mishmash of The Office and Parks and Rec, along with sprinklings of other (older) popular sitcoms. It doesn't try hard enough to be its own thing and just isn't that funny. See more Glen T 13h It's pretty embarrassing when nearly all your five star reviews from the audience are from people who have rated exactly one show - this one. How are we supposed to believe that these are not paid-for bots? The people paying for this should really work out a better plan as it's simple and easy to expose. I'm glad they're idiots, or cheap, because it means I can avoid terrible shows that they've tried to make us believe are popular and good. See more Brittany C @BCMusic 1d The pacing is quick with constant jokes that progress the story line. The morals are good and the heart of the show is people trying to be decent I laugh until I cry at least once every episode. Every character is entertaining- i thought I'd just be waiting for Tracy and Dan to come back on screen but the rest of the cast is hilarious. Give it a shot. I follow Daniel Radcliffe's career- he has a Tony for a reason!! See more Peg G 1d I am really enjoying this! I appreciate the fact that the characters of the ex-wife and the girlfriend are not written as trashy stereotypes of wives of sports figures. And Daniel Radcliffe is extremely good in this. See more Eileen J @EileenJM 2d Just saw first two episodes and immediately knew I was going to love this, just as I loved 30 Rock and Kimmy Schmidt. Daniel Radcliffe has a remarkable comedy gift, and he's a great partner to the magnificent Tracy Morgan, a man who can read a line better than Olivier. The cast is perfect. See more JOLINE G @jolinegkg 2d I am laughing out loud at this show! Who knew that Tracy Morgan and Daniel Radcliffe would be the perfect comedy team! See more Read all reviews
