He's Expecting is a bewildering ride but it has a lot of heart. Go to Full Review Kate Sánchez But Why Tho? A Geek Community 04/24/2022
6.5/10
While it isn't perfect, He's Expecting beat any expectation I had for it. Instead of using male pregnancy as a shtick, the series uses it as a way to highlight things that women have been saying about pregnancy. Go to Full Review John Serba Decider 04/22/2022
He’s Expecting is way too much weird, way too little reward; from its bizarre premise and tonal inconsistency to mixed messaging, the series can’t quite get a grip on what it wants to be. Go to Full Review Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut 04/21/2022
3/5
The point is to use a male pregnancy to bring awareness to the physical, emotional, and social hardships that women experience. Mostly, anyway. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Calvin D Nov 17 Oh my god I’ve never seen a show as beautiful as this I gave it a standing ovation while watching on a bus See more Jon D 01/15/2023 Just awful. Netflix quality is slipping. See more 07/29/2022 I love it and I'm watching it now again. Aside from showing what women suffer from pregnancy, it also shows rare cases that men have male and female organs inside them so they can get pregnant. I loved Takumi and Juri and there natural reacts & I'm waiting for season 2 that I hope it'll be soon. I also noticed that "one star reviewers" put their reviews may be on the same day of the series and didn't watch it at all and who watched it lately and carefully gave it five stars. See more Bael C 06/03/2022 Esta basura no debería siquiera tener puntuación alguna, lástima que no exista el -100 See more 05/21/2022 What are Netflix thinking making this trash. Bad writing and characters. The script is truly atrocious. Do yourself a favour and just watch any other random show and it will be better than this. See more sarah a @Padlock 05/13/2022 Love this! Such an original refreshing series.. it really highlights the gender divide. For once, the men are seeing what the women have to deal with at work. The only slight niggle is that there isn't an explanation nor an attempt at one as to how a male can get pregnant. But I'm still giving this show 5 stars See more Read all reviews
