What to Know

Critics Consensus

Jason Alexander's talent for making narcissists endearing is ill-served in Bob Patterson, a surly and unfunny sitcom about a motivational guru that lacks much motivation.

1.5/4
Even Cary Grant at his height couldn't have saved Bob Patterson, a disastrously troubled sitcom about a second-rate motivational speaker. Go to Full Review John Doyle Globe and Mail 03/19/2020
Glaringly awful. Go to Full Review Catherine Dawson March Globe and Mail 03/19/2020
