Four women to every one man are great odds when you're a single guy out on the town but not ideal when it comes to your living situation. Freddie Moreno is a young, successful chef at a trendy Chicago restaurant who lives in a stylish bachelor pad. That is until it is invaded by female relatives -- his sister-in-law, sister (complete with teenaged daughter) and grandmother. Freddie loved growing up in a house full of women, but now he's finally realizing why his father used to lock himself in the bathroom for some peace and quiet.
Freddie — Season 1

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Charmless and sophomoric, Freddie saddles the likable Prinze Jr. with an unpleasant persona while giving its ensemble of actresses little to do.

1.5/4
While the show is absent of laughs, it should satisfy viewers who went to the Scooby Doo movies to drool over more than the CGI effects. Go to Full Review Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times 09/09/2019
For the most part, the show's mix of family comedy and sex romp is fairly successful. Go to Full Review Austin Smith New York Post 09/09/2019
2/4
This guy has a great personality. Building a likable sitcom around him ought to be a no-brainer. So why haven't they done it? Go to Full Review Roger Catlin Hartford Courant 09/09/2019
There's little to recommend in Freddie. Go to Full Review Tom Jicha South Florida Sun-Sentinel 09/09/2019
Juvenile sexual innuendo might have worked occasionally 30 years ago, but derivative series like Freddie are the reason the sitcom form is in a slump today. Go to Full Review Jill Murphy Common Sense Media 09/09/2019
1/5
If parents or adults decide to tune in, they're likely to be disappointed by the dumb jokes and tired clichés. Bottom line: There are so many better ways to spend a free half hour. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Marc B @RT43189036 Mar 11 Freddie ruins the program with his terrible attitude. I think he believes he is funny and dry humoured but he really isn't that. Freddie comes accross as difficult to like. Honestly I turned off part the way into the 2nd episode when Freddie was complaining about his friend looking at a really cool tree house. Freddie is far too negative which ruins the program. His travelling companion is much more interesting and likeable. See more Read all reviews
