Season 1 All Critics (15) | Top Critics (8) | Fresh (6) | Rotten (9) Still, Alex, Inc. is an enjoyably comfy fit among all of those fellow ABC family comedies. Mar 28, 2018 | Rating: B | Full Review… Ed Bark Uncle Barky Top Critic Exhausted yet? It's a ton to take in, and if Alex is having trouble keeping up, imagine the show's poor viewers. Mar 26, 2018 | Full Review… Diane Werts Newsday Top Critic The professional quest... unfolds with an off-putting, frantic energy that undermines the star and show. Mar 22, 2018 | Full Review… Hal Boedeker Orlando Sentinel Top Critic Tepid comedy has positive messages about work/life balance. Apr 10, 2018 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review… Emily Ashby Common Sense Media What Alex, Inc. cries out for is for that one character who doesn't think Alex is amazing, smart, sexy, funny or God's gift to humanity. Mar 28, 2018 | Rating: C | Full Review… Mark A. Perigard Boston Herald The trouble with a show insisting that someone is a genius is that it has to go ahead and prove it, and nothing Alex does is particularly convincing in this arena. Mar 28, 2018 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review… Caroline Framke Vox The resulting Alex, Inc.... seems a step up from family sitcoms, with some amusing visual comedy going on in the background. Mar 28, 2018 | Full Review… Roger Catlin rogercatlin.com Alex, Inc. seems more like a family sitcom that occasionally dresses like a workplace comedy.
