"Now in its six-episode second season, the superb workplace comedy continues to explore themes of power, gender, class, corporatization, mortality, and the mysteries of the stuff that comes out of our butts." Go to Full Review Melissa Maerz Entertainment Weekly 11/07/2014

Getting On finds great comedic tension between the gravitas of getting on (as in getting old and dying) and the levity required for getting on (as in just getting through the workday). Go to Full Review Lee Tyler Paste Magazine 11/17/2014
8.5/10
What Getting On does so well is pivot from humor to sadness. It's almost Chekovian in the way that it walks the line between comedy and tragedy. It's a dark comedy- heavy on the dark. Yet, I think that's appropriate given the subject matter. Go to Full Review Bill Brioux Brioux.tv 11/10/2014
It is a dark, unblinking comedy, offering unvarnished truths taken to extremes about subjects rarely shown on television-death and the care of the elderly. Go to Full Review Roger Catlin rogercatlin.com 11/10/2014
Laurie Metcalf's performance, along with her role in the network sitcom The McCarthys make her TV's comedy powerhouse of the season. She does some amazing stuff. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
