John Carman San Francisco Chronicle 06/19/2019
The show is deliberately chintzy, so much so that it almost manages a homey-spun charm. Almost. Go to Full Review Hal Boedeker Orlando Sentinel 06/19/2019
Homeboys stuns with its ineptitude and tastelessness. The space adventure, set in the 23rd century, scrounges up tacky sets and special effects, neither of which would matter if the show had a trace of humor or a campy style. Go to Full Review Howard Rosenberg Los Angeles Times 06/19/2019
The writing could be tighter here, the satire sharper and more sophisticated. On the other hand, the very charm of "Homeboys" is its raw spaciness and lack of pretentiousness, proving that swirling gasses, for their own sake, can be fun. Go to Full Review Rick Kushman Sacramento Bee 10/21/2021
1.5/4
This may be so bad it's good. And it's soooo bad. Go to Full Review James Endrst Hartford Courant 06/19/2019
It's high camp, but low on laugh fuel. Go to Full Review Tom Gliatto People Magazine 06/19/2019
C-
