More Show More Episodes Critic Reviews for American Housewife Season 1 All Critics (38) | Top Critics (21) | Fresh (22) | Rotten (16) The writing in the two episodes I've seen is funnier and more pointed than the show's premise. Aug 21, 2019 | Full Review… Ellen Gray Philadelphia Inquirer Top Critic 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 Once called "The Second Fattest Housewife in Westport," the series hits the usual notes but doesn't sing. Aug 21, 2019 | Full Review… Rob Lowman Los Angeles Daily News Katy Mixon is a star. It's honestly her intense likability that makes this show so watchable. Aug 21, 2019 | Full Review… Kevin Fallon The Daily Beast I'm pretty sure having Mixon's Katie Otto make disparaging remarks about "skinny mommies in tight white jeans" isn't the best delivery-system for a celebration of all things good about Katy Mixon. Aug 21, 2019 | Full Review… Ken Tucker Yahoo! TV It's not a revolutionary setup for a TV family, but again, it's all about how Katie handles them that makes it work. Aug 21, 2019 | Full Review… Tim Surette TV Guide Katie and Greg are solidly likable characters who only sometimes fall into predictably ridiculous plot traps. Aug 21, 2019 | Full Review… Elizabeth Kiefer Refinery29 Its central character isn't actually fat. Of course, that's part of the alleged joke in this mean-spirited sitcom. Aug 21, 2019 | Full Review… Ryan Schwartz TV Line View All Critic Reviews (38) Audience Reviews for American Housewife: Season 1 Jun 16, 2020 El tema central de la serie no es su fuerte, pero es divertido centrarse en las subtramas, y aunque la mayoría de lo personajes secundarios no son explotados. La familia Otto, más específicamente los hijos, son un ancla para no querer dejar de ver el programa. Brahian F Apr 02, 2020 I hate this show. The MOM character is the worst, the rest of the characters are ok. She reflects the worst in humanity, she is not funny, not charismatic or not even a good mother. Why do they keep on torturing us with her face? Please disappear her like in Rossane and keep the rest of the show. I think Diedrich Bader, the husband could be funnier, he is a good actor in a poor character. Mariana I Jan 08, 2020 Love this show! The actors work so good together Nancy G Sep 22, 2019 The Show has a lot of laughs and funny plots. Some times its blah but for the most part its a DVR recorded show we watch Kevin C Jun 15, 2019 Just watched this for the first time. By far the worst show I've watched. The first 15 minutes is focused on being a "fat wind" and a racist "fat" lady. Ugh Kelly M Jul 18, 2018 I think this is an entertaining and funny show. I enjoy it. Love Katy Mixon.! Jane F Jan 11, 2018 A show every mom should show her children! Kitten S Nov 26, 2017 Very funny show. Very entertaining. The whole family loves it. Great writing. Julie C Oct 22, 2017 I have loved Katy Mixon since Mike & Molly and she it stupendous in this show. My favorite new comedy of 2016. Noah M Oct 05, 2017 Omg, best comedy for the mom's out there!
