(Guest star Pauly Shore) More Critic Reviews for Alone Together Season 1 All Critics (13) | Top Critics (5) | Fresh (8) | Rotten (5) Alone Together otherwise can be pretty good company for the most part. Jan 10, 2018 | Rating: B | Full Review… Ed Bark Uncle Barky Top Critic "Alone Together" skates very close to being too annoying, but never loses its appeal, because of the writing, of course, but also because Povitsky and Aflalo are fully credible at all times.... May 30, 2018 | Full Review… David Wiegand San Francisco Chronicle Top Critic Unfortunately, their vapid obsession with looking and being perfect quickly grows tiresome in the premiere, which has few laughs. Still, while the tone may be a little grating, the pair has good chemistry and timing. Jan 12, 2018 | Full Review… Kelly Lawler USA Today Top Critic The characters are hard to invest in, the relationship is really hard to invest in, and the show offers no narrative propulsion aside from their cutesy, vulgar dynamic. Jan 10, 2018 | Full Review… Sonia Saraiya Variety Top Critic Besides being mean to each other, and themselves, Povitsky and Aflalo are great at throwing away character information through dialogue. Jan 12, 2018 | Rating: 9/10 | Full Review… Beth Winchester The Young Folks It's not that Povitsky and Aflalo aren't funny. They are. And some of the one-liners are fantastic...But overall, the show has a tedious vibe. Jan 12, 2018 | Rating: 6/10 | Full Review… Amy Amatangelo Paste Magazine "Alone Together" shows what it's like to be on-the-outside-of-cool-looking-in and how truly uncool that can make confidence-free - but funny! -- people feel. May 30, 2018 | Full Review… Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette The two have so much loathing for themselves, Alone Together can be downright depressing. Just the quality you don't want from a sitcom. You might end up hating yourself -- for wasting your time. Jan 10, 2018 | Rating: C | Full Review… Mark A. Perigard Boston Herald The second this relationship got well and truly complicated, it would be a parade of dysfunction. It's not a will-they-or-won't-they, it's a they-won't-and-thank-god. Feb 14, 2018 | Full Review… Allison Shoemaker Consequence of Sound Underwhelming sitcom centers on platonic millennial BFFs. Jan 16, 2018 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review… Jenny Nixon Common Sense Media Benji Aflalo and Esther Povitsky have pretty good chemistry as best friends navigating their fraught social lives as millennials in Los Angeles on the new "Alone Together" (Freeform, 8:30 p.m.). Jan 10, 2018 | Full Review… Roger Catlin rogercatlin.com It's a slyly ambitious show - and an especially odd fit for Freeform. Jan 11, 2018 | Full Review… Lili Loofbourow The Week View All Critic Reviews (13) Audience Reviews for Alone Together: Season 1 Dec 09, 2019 It's really funny but aimless. If you're looking for a strong plot or admirable characters, this isn't a show for you. It's about self aware narcissistic and directionless millenial dumpster people (pretty sure they decribed themselves as that). It has some really sharp and quick witted comedy Most episode plots feels more like a general idea to have comedic dialogue and almost an impromptu feel to everything. I really enjoyed the banter between Benji and Esther. But I can see why other people don't like it. Around R Nov 27, 2019 The creators (Lonely Island) are fluent in comedy and I do like Esther. Benji plays everything so flat it often misses but have had some good laughs while watching. Kit F Jul 13, 2019 This is the first Rotten Tomatoes review I've ever written. I'm not one to write reviews, but I had to stand up for this show. I loovvveeddd this show. It's subtly hilarious, dealing with the often ridiculous issues that millennials face. It's a show that makes it fun to laugh at yourself, your friends, and/or the pressures of society. It reminds me of a Curb Your Enthusiasm for young people. I hope a streaming network picks this gem up! It's a shame to let this show end after two seasons just because it didn't have the correct age-appropriate target audience on Freeform. Laine V Sep 28, 2018 I adore this show, it actually reminds me of me and my best friend. The humor is so dry and sarcastic (in a great way) but still manages to be lighthearted and fun. Its so easy to see that Esther and Benjis have a real genuine dynamic and care a great deal about each other even though they dont often verbalize it. I love how refreshing it is to see a male/female friendship that is genuinely platonic and no forced unnecessary romance. This was my best friend and Is favorite show to watch together because it reminds us so much of our own dynamic. I REALLY hope it gets a season three, it definitely deserves it! Jane R Aug 28, 2018 One of the funniest shows I've seen in a while. If it wasn't for Hulu putting it up recently I never would have found out about it. Rich M May 04, 2018 I gave this show a try and it is now One of my favorites. Can't wait for season 2! Mar 26, 2018 Entertaining and funny. Critics are too hard on it. Every episode makes me laugh. S H Mar 14, 2018 tHE CHARACTERS ARE GREAT, THE DIALOGUE IS EASY TO FOLLOW, GENERALLY A GOOD SHOW TO WATch. Sean A Feb 27, 2018 Lovable quirky characters. Cute storylines. Really enjoying fresh ideas and series. Brett L Feb 14, 2018 I think it is funny. My wife and I watch it every week.
