More Show More Episodes Critic Reviews for American Housewife Season 1 All Critics (30) | Top Critics (20) | Fresh (17) | Rotten (13) The subject matter is in good hands with Mixon in the lead, a casting choice that should leave "bad moms" everywhere celebrating. Or at the very least ditching those godawful green smoothies. Jun 13, 2018 | Full Review… Amber Dowling TheWrap Top Critic The "fat" stuff is way overdone, but Bader and Mixon are good. Otherwise, your watchwords are: too soon to tell. Oct 10, 2016 | Rating: B | Full Review… Verne Gay Newsday Top Critic American Housewife tackles an issue that's sure to reverberate with many. Oct 7, 2016 | Rating: B- | Full Review… Tom Long Detroit News Top Critic Mixon's casting would have been much more meaningful had her show more frequently let her form speak for itself. American Housewife's star, so far, is Katie's weight-and a number is a pretty boring premise for a story. Oct 13, 2016 | Full Review… Megan Garber The Atlantic Top Critic American Housewife so far is too busy taking offense to be much fun to watch. Oct 11, 2016 | Rating: C | Full Review… Ed Bark Uncle Barky Top Critic Mixon is entertaining in the role, particularly when she deploys her sarcastic wit against both her tormentors and her children. And she's surrounded by a solid, if not dazzling, supporting cast. Oct 10, 2016 | Full Review… Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe Top Critic Like many pilots nowadays, American Housewife is bolstered by an energetic lead performance - the wonderful Katy Mixon - but without real bite or insight, the show seeps into an indistinct "quirky" sitcom background pretty quickly. Oct 9, 2016 | Rating: 5/10 | Full Review… Matt Joseph We Got This Covered The pilot veers towards breaking the fourth wall and being far too preachy towards the end, though, which doesn't serve it well. Oct 4, 2016 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review… Allison Keene Collider Stereotyping is stereotyping, regardless of which direction the needle tilts on the scale, and it sends all kinds of worrisome messages about self-esteem by putting this issue at the forefront of this show. Oct 3, 2016 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review… Emily Ashby Common Sense Media I really did love this show as I stuffed several Domino's marbled cookie brownies into my face and laughed at everything Katy Mixon said. This review is both an endorsement for this show and for Domino's marbled cookie brownies. Sep 22, 2016 | Full Review… Lauren Piester E!
