Alex Rose is an attractive, single attorney who can't find a mate. She works side-by-side with her dad, Bill, at his law firm. He'd like to see her settle down with the firm's star lawyer, Stephen, who is obviously smitten. Her taste in men proves to be a bit less conventional, however.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Jenna Elfman's endearing charms are no match for the abysmal comedy and disposable plotting of Courting Alex.

Joanne Ostrow Denver Post 10/14/2019
Despite [Jenna] Elfman's considerable talent for physical comedy and [Dabney] Coleman's expertise at playing the overbearing boss, it feels too familiar. Go to Full Review Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times 10/14/2019
The pilot is neither a disaster nor a triumph; it's rooted in the hoary premise of the attracted opposites, and decorated in familiar tropes of sitcomedy, but it's neatly done. Go to Full Review Alessandra Stanley New York Times 10/14/2019
The banter between Alex and Scott is particularly bland, and the punch lines delivered by secondary characters are not much better. Go to Full Review Bill Gibron PopMatters 10/15/2019
When focused on our fetching female lead, Courting Alex is effervescent. Go to Full Review Ed Bark Baltimore Sun 10/15/2019
[Jenna] Elfman wins the day with her very winning persona. Go to Full Review Alan Pergament Buffalo News 10/14/2019
1.5/4
It has some charm. But as comedy, "Courting Alex" plays a familiar tune, has few surprises and is barking under the wrong tree. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
