Critic Reviews

Era-defining comedies that capture a generation's fabulous flaws and foibles with such penetrating skill are rare. Fleabag, Michaela Coel's Chewing Gum and Such Brave Girls are some of them. This is definitely another. Bravo.

A fun journey in a story that’s less episodic than it first appears, and that ends up falling somewhere between a TV show and a feature-length film.

It Gets Worse is truly funny, propelled along by Reich’s zinger-filled, often profound script. The cast are solid, too.

“It Gets Worse” knows its audience, its characters, and its world.

For all the surface cynicism, fatalism and nihilism, there’s a soulful core to the six-part series that feels very real.

Reich makes for a likeable and nicely unabashed leading man, and there are occasional flashes of dramatic intrigue and some solid jokes, but It Gets Worse is often shaggy and ill-defined to a fault.
