More Critic Reviews for Detroiters Season 1 All Critics (19) | Top Critics (11) | Fresh (17) | Rotten (2) In the end, this is a comedy by natives for natives and residents near and far. It's that undeniable sense of pride and ownership that will make you "stand up and tell 'em you're from Detroit" between bouts of laughter and smiles. Aug 8, 2018 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… Mekeisha Madden Toby Detroit News Top Critic Richardson and Robinson's laid back approach to rolling out comedy - and especially the former's addictively amiable nature - makes for consistent chuckles that can develop into hearty guffaws. Feb 8, 2017 | Rating: B | Full Review… Ben Travers indieWire Top Critic Detroiters shines as a silly, brazen piece of comedic storytelling that places its characters front and center. Oct 31, 2018 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review… Sean Mulvihill FanboyNation.com This entertaining workplace comedy features lots of funny moments thanks to some good timing and solid editing. The jokes have a bit of edge, but not enough to take away from the lighthearted nature of the show. Feb 24, 2017 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media Robinson and Richardson are funny guys (or they ought to be based on their backgrounds), but in this case, we're not buying what they do, and we're not entirely sure why they did it. Feb 8, 2017 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review… Derrick Rossignol Nerdist A rare new sitcom with as much heart and soul as jokes and wackiness, Detroiters is a welcome surprise. Feb 7, 2017 | Full Review… Ken Tucker Yahoo! TV This silly but enjoyable comedy is a love letter -- or get-well-soon card -- to the battered city of Detroit. Jun 13, 2019 | Full Review… Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald Top Critic There is no ridiculous moment whose boundaries can't be pushed that much further, into even more ridiculous territory. Feb 8, 2017 | Full Review… Jen Chaney New York Magazine/Vulture Top Critic Richardson and Robinson make for likable leads and Detroiters is savvy and funny in many ways, but what really made it work for me was the admirable affection that comes from its love for Detroit. Feb 7, 2017 | Full Review… Dan Fienberg Hollywood Reporter Top Critic Detroiters goes for the most stupid option. It's an approach that works for the most part, with the ridiculousness adding up to create a show that's lovably chaotic. Feb 7, 2017 | Full Review… Lanre Bakare Guardian Top Critic View All Critic Reviews (19) Audience Reviews for Detroiters: Season 1 May 07, 2019 It took a couple of episodes to like the characters but I'm glad I gave it a chance. Pretty funny. If you are from the Detroit area...I guarantee they hook you in. Jason S Jan 19, 2019 Such a great show, especially "Smilin Jack" and "Trevor." Why this show was canceled, I don't know. Leland%20 P Oct 14, 2018 This show is a hidden gem. Give it a chance, you won't be sorry. B P Aug 09, 2018 "Proudly stupid yet surprisingly soulful" -- yep, that's a good description. Also, often crass, yet frequently sweet applies as well. But typically, quite funny along with a bit of nice satire thrown in about Detroit. Rob P Jul 08, 2018 I'm always on the lookout for new TV shows because, ya know, I need entertainment to balance out the harshness of reality, and I saw that the second season of Detroiters currently has an insane 100% approval from both critics and fans. Well that's because there aren't that many people rating it yet, but the first season also highly rated. So I gave it a shot, but it lasted only about a minute before I shut it down because of this idiotic scene where they douse a car salesman with scalding hot water. Is this really what society has devolved to that they think bullshit like this is funny? Yet another example of how ratings can't be trusted. Or am I missing something? Is there some redeeming situation that comes later to explain this? Kenric A Dec 27, 2017 Really enjoyed it , but I'm from Michigan and get all the references. I think it'd fall short elsewhere. Hope to see more old commercials.Just enough silly to keep it going. Well done. J R Apr 21, 2017 Started out slow but progressed into a great show! Brent R Mar 25, 2017 I love this show. It is laugh out loud funny! Happy it's renewed for another season Nancy T Feb 15, 2017 Mindless humor. Perfect to escape the daily news crap. Paul C Feb 15, 2017 Awful! Can't understand why anyone found anything in this show funny.
