More Critic Reviews for Bless This Mess Season 1 All Critics (11) | Top Critics (6) | Fresh (9) | Rotten (2) It's a solid 22 minutes of television, offering exactly what's been promised since Elizabeth Meriwether and Lake Bell's sitcom earned a green light, from the promising ensemble to the tried-and-true premise. Apr 17, 2019 | Rating: B- | Full Review… Ben Travers indieWire Top Critic Bless This Mess is a pleasant enough diversion for the next six weeks. Apr 11, 2019 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review… Michael Starr New York Post Top Critic We may not be rewatching "Bless This Mess" in 40 years, but it's worth embracing now. Apr 16, 2019 | Full Review… Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times Top Critic From the stars to the ensemble to the assembled creative talent, Bless This Mess has the elements to become a pleasant comedy success, but with only the pilot, very hung up on establishing its premise, to go by here, it would require me to project. Apr 16, 2019 | Full Review… Dan Fienberg Hollywood Reporter Top Critic Escapism has its place, but this feels more insubstantial. Apr 16, 2019 | Full Review… Brian Lowry CNN.com Top Critic Bell and Meriwether's script has precious little time to set up what the series is going to look like, and therefore gets to quick work making it all happen as soon as possible. Apr 16, 2019 | Full Review… Caroline Framke Variety Top Critic Urban hipsters turn to farm life in promising comedy. Apr 23, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… Jenny Nixon Common Sense Media Bless This Mess isn't trying to wow you with needless razzle-dazzle. It's just a well-written show with an endlessly likable cast that'll make you smile. Apr 16, 2019 | Full Review… Josh Sorokach Decider The premise is very easy to dismiss, but I'd still recommend sticking with it. Give it a few episodes to find itself. Apr 17, 2019 | Full Review… Dustin Rowles Pajiba Interesting subplot - sexy magnetism between farmer E Begley Jr. and local cop Pam Grier. Apr 19, 2019 | Full Review… Anne Brodie What She Said The talent behind Bless This Mess is the epitome of competent comedy Apr 16, 2019 | Rating: 7.0/10 | Full Review… LaToya Ferguson Paste Magazine View All Critic Reviews (11) Audience Reviews for Bless This Mess: Season 1 Feb 19, 2020 Refreshing, very entertaining, sometimes silly in a good way... With all the violence, hate, and lack of understanding and compassion happening these days, this show is very healing and relaxing. Evelyn M Feb 03, 2020 This show is painfully bad! It is like the actors are high and just making up their lines on the spot. Insultingly stupid, meandering, and tedious. Unfunny people trying to be funny and creating an embarrassing cringe-fest. Steve K Jan 22, 2020 FRESH SMART FUNNY fully felt fully formed LOVED IT pam m Dec 19, 2019 Better than most shows out there. william h Dec 14, 2019 I don't watch many sit-coms but started watching this one and absolutely love it. Quirky, interesting characters, great writing - and makes me laugh out loud! Jane B Dec 12, 2019 I just love this show! Such clever writing, acting and always unexpected outcomes! It makes me laugh so much, not a predictable dialogue! Finally! Penny P Dec 12, 2019 Very witty and fun! Takes a few episodes to let the characters grow but by season 2, each episode is lovable and hilarious. Ryan L Dec 11, 2019 So quirky and funny! Ellery D Nov 19, 2019 Well written, witty dialogue with a fun loving look at the transition from city life to country folk Sunshine J Nov 16, 2019 I LOVE THIS SHOW! So funny and refreshing. We look forward to watching every single week !
