Mar 5, 2019 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review… Verne Gay Newsday Top Critic But perhaps what Desus and Mero did best was keep their new show feeling familiar, yet fun and exciting, for longtime Bodega Hive members, while also welcoming new viewers to their particular (and rather strong) brand of comedy. Feb 27, 2019 | Full Review… Lea Palmieri Decider New voices in late night TV are fresh, smart, topical. Feb 26, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Marty Brown Common Sense Media The brand is strong. It's early to make pronouncements, but the premiere of Showtime's Desus & Mero still feels like a breath of fresh air, even in the ever-more-crowded landscape of late-night comedy. Feb 22, 2019 | Full Review… Sonia Saraiya Vanity Fair The Showtime version, god bless, is just professional enough, but no more. Which is why I found myself laughing like an idiot... Feb 22, 2019 | Full Review… Rob Harvilla The Ringer That Ocasio-Cortez would be the new iteration's first guest couldn't be more appropriate: she's also won a following for breaking into a white-dominated institution with frankness, reason, and a refreshing contempt for the 1%. Jun 4, 2019 | Full Review… Charles Bramesco Guardian Top Critic The show, like the snack, is salty and slightly sweet, and its crispness is a sign of its authenticity. Jun 4, 2019 | Full Review… Troy Patterson New Yorker Top Critic The initial outing revealed a few weaknesses in the new format, but it retained the humor, point of view, and boisterous energy that makes Desus and Mero an essential late-night addition. Jun 4, 2019 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… Kristen Baldwin Entertainment Weekly Top Critic They don't obsess about politics and are happy to take swipes at whatever low-hanging fruit they can find. Mar 27, 2019 | Full Review… Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald Top Critic I've always got room for another weekly half-hour, though, and after this promising debut, I'm ready to add Showtime's Desus & Mero to my rotation. Feb 22, 2019 | Full Review… Dan Fienberg Hollywood Reporter Top Critic View All Critic Reviews (10) Audience Reviews for Desus & Mero: Season 1 Not able to keep my interest. I want my old show back.
