What to Know

Critics Consensus

Frothy with a political zip, Hearts Afire derives its warmth from witty repartee and an excellent ensemble, but less so from its central duo's questionable romantic chemistry.

Tom Shales Washington Post 07/03/2019
It all just seems to work like gangbusters. Or maybe like clockwork. Or maybe just like a situation comedy ought to work. That doesn't happen as often as it should. Happily and cheeringly, Hearts Afire comes across. Go to Full Review Greg Dawson Orlando Sentinel 07/03/2019
Hearts Afire, with its echoes of Designing Women and Evening Shade, has a strong sense of deja vu. The question now becomes how long the Thomasons can keep recycling the same old grits. Go to Full Review John J. O'Connor New York Times 07/03/2019
After getting off to a surprisingly threadbare start, with the kids being tiresomely cute, Hearts Afire begins scoring frequently enough to keep itchy fingers off the remote. Go to Full Review Tom Jicha South Florida Sun-Sentinel 07/03/2019
Hearts Afire is about as good as a comedy can be coming out of the box. The writing crackles with intelligent wit, there's a cornucopia of colorful characters and the casting is close to perfect. Go to Full Review Chris Hicks Deseret News (Salt Lake City) 07/03/2019
Ritter and Post and Thornton are all good comic actors, and this show is an enjoyable romp, although some of its political gags are dated. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
