The writers have great ears for "real" dialogue, and, in fact, not a single line here feels like a dead ball. The characters, too, arrive fully formed and believable. First impressions are absolutely vital in TV, and The Middle makes an excellent one.

A smart and funny sitcom....Heaton is splendid as Heck, with a high-profile supporting cast.

Acho incrível o como essa série é incrível do começo ao fim!
Tem pouquissímo reconhecimento mas há algo nela que sempre me cativou.... É leve, engraçada, com situações que podem acontecer no cotidiano de todos nós!

This show is about a young Pete Buttigieg growing up in a small town in western Indiana. Simply brilliant!

Like "Hank," The Middle is no Next New Thing; indeed, both argue for the opposite, the pleasures of the known, of craft and of watching people who know what they're doing do it.

The Middle is just a show about a quirky family, and their quirks simply aren't that interesting.

The Middle feels like a sitcom version of standup comedy. "Three guys and two girls walk into Indiana..."It's not offensive. Just superfluous.

What a show this is! It is very hilarious and realistic, and sadly, it resembles a ton of families. Sue's actor did an astonishing job portraying thy attempted personality, and so did thy other characters. Great sit com to watch over a bag of Doritos.
