I'm Sorry

Much of what's here has been seen before. But you can build many different houses from identical blocks, and finally, I'm Sorry is very much its own show, funny and grounded.

That’s I’m Sorry: Reliable, recommendable, satisfying, likable, consistent.

There are a lot of series mining this style so it's not like Savage has done anything wrong by jumping into the fray, but I'm Sorry will need to find its own unique variation soon enough. But early on the show feels like it's already in rhythm, which is a nice surprise.

What makes I’m Sorry worth watching is Savage’s immense charm, which helps mitigate some of the series’ thornier moments and more caustic humor.

The show never allows logic to get in the way of a good riff, or a bad one. This is, for better or worse, a going style of comedy, which has the shape of biting satire but no teeth.

While the show is lightweight and enjoyable in all the right ways, it’s more of this same well-trodden genre.

She’s occasionally pretty funny, but, in its first two episodes I’m Sorry never spares even a second to make the case that viewers would enjoy hanging out with her.
