Hank Azaria and Amanda Peet co-star in "Brockmire," a half-hour comedy series that began years ago as a viral short video on the Funny or Die website. The series centers on the fall of Jim Brockmire, a once-famed major league baseball announcer who suffers an embarrassing on-air meltdown caused by his wife's serial infidelity, leading to a decade away from the booth. Older and presumably wiser, Brockmire attempts to reclaim his career, reputation and love life by returning behind the mic, but the setting -- a broken-down rust belt town, home of the minor league's Morristown Frackers -- is not quite what he envisioned. Strong-willed, hard-drinking owner Julia James has a complicated relationship with Brockmire, while whiz-kid intern Charles is simultaneously entertained by and terrified of the new announcer.

Hank Azaria has added layers of regret and realism to Jim Brockmire, a strategy that pays off, especially in his scenes with love interest Amanda Peet, one of our most underrated comic actors. The result: an out-of-the-park home run. Go to Full Review

Season 4 finds the ideal line between evoking both the debauchery of his past and squaring one man's outsized legend with his more understanding current form. Go to Full Review
Mike Hale New York Times 03/19/2020
Delivered by Azaria with splendid aplomb, the new season demonstrates how important the actual presence of baseball - as engaged in on the field or seen from the announcer's booth - has been to the show. Go to Full Review

Brockmire the show is great specifically because Brockmire the character tries and fails repeatedly to do right. Go to Full Review

This imagined dystopia is no longer amusing... But we're glad to have "Brockmire" back anyway, retooled as a story of a man trying to raise a daughter (Reina Hardesty) going off to college. Go to Full Review

Artic_eagles28 @Atomic_Donkey Jan 30 Best of the Best. Never laughed harder and darn near cried. It’s the very adult version of Ted Lasso. Absolutely amazing writing and cast. I needed this badly. This country sucks right now and this show has given me hope. See more Jared u @Moose930 Jan 7 Season one was a masterpiece. Season 3 was water down but still had some good moments. Season 4 was absolute garbage that it made me make an account to review this hot garbage See more 05/20/2021 A masterpiece ending of a great show. It made me feel better that the show was ending, but then it too ended. I loved this show! See more dave d @RT34924333 05/18/2021 If it's your kind of thing then you're gonna miss it when it's gone. The final year feels thrown together and disjointed, but still it's entertaining. See more andrei d @RT74856639 02/03/2021 Brockmire needed more seasons See more 11/09/2020 A stark contrast from the quality of the first 3 seasons. Season 4 is set in the dystopian future from what i can understand is to tell the story of jim being a dad but it seemed like a dream that shouldve come back to reality. Its still somewhat worth watching but disappointing considering how good the show was getting See more Read all reviews
