Critic Reviews for TV Shows
Jan 14, 2026
Da Ali G Show (US): Season 175
Jan 14, 2026
You've seen this kind of shtick before on other shows, but Cohen occasionally gets off a laugh-out-loud moment. [21 Feb 2003, p.45]
Feb 5, 2025
Clean Slate: Season 175
Feb 5, 2025
Edgy yet wholesome. The warmhearted, consistently funny and thoroughly engaging Prime Video series “Clean Slate” manages to be both of these things.
Mar 24, 2022
Now and Again: Season 175
Mar 24, 2022
It's hard to say exactly where this is going... but it will definitely pique your interest. [24 Sep 1999, p.48]
Jan 24, 2022
Blonde: Season 163
Jan 24, 2022
It's entertaining at times, but it's not like we haven't seen it before. [11 May 2001, p.59]
May 11, 2021
Storm of the Century: Season 175
May 11, 2021
Genuinely creepy. [12 Feb 1999, p.41]
Dec 2, 2019
Titus: Season 163
Dec 2, 2019
It's well-written enough, even stylish at times. It's just not very funny. [20 March 2000, p.45]
Dec 1, 2019
Son of the Beach: Season 175
Dec 1, 2019
But so help me (and I'm not proud of this) Son of the Beach made me laugh. Out loud. Several times. I may not respect myself in the morning, but I'm having a good time tonight. [14 March 2000, p.35]
Nov 27, 2019
God, the Devil and Bob: Season 137
Nov 27, 2019
One fact is unassailable, however. This animated variation on the Faust legend isn't very funny. [9 March 2000, p.37]
Nov 26, 2019
Daddio: Season 125
Nov 26, 2019
Numbingly unfunny. [23 March 2000, p.49]
Nov 21, 2019
Battery Park: Season 163
Nov 21, 2019
Battery Park isn't awful. Goldberg is too skilled at putting together slick ensemble comedies for that. It actually does click some of the time. But it's not quite charged up to the level of "Barney Miller," the gold standard for this type of show. [23 March 2000, p.49]
