What to Know

Critics Consensus

Fueled by a weak premise and dull humor, Carpoolers runs out of gas before it can even hit the road.

"Carpoolers" may be in the fast lane, but doesn't seem to be headed anywhere. Go to Full Review Charlie McCollum San Jose Mercury News 11/13/2019
It could develop, but right now, it's only so-so. Go to Full Review Alan Sepinwall Newark Star-Ledger 11/13/2019
There's some amusing material on the margins of the show... but outside of Jerry Minor's winning performance as the overextended but always cheerful Aubrey, it's completely forgettable. Go to Full Review Mike Kelly Toledo Blade 11/13/2019
The program starts with a ho-hum premise and promptly drives into a ditch with it. Go to Full Review Will Harris Bullz-Eye.com 11/13/2019
The guys are comedically diverse, but they play well off each other, and the characters' respective problems are different enough that the plot lines could go on for ages...and that's not even counting anything that might go on at their respective jobs. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
