Alison Herman Variety Feb 25
“Laid” lacks a perspective on Ruby’s affliction. Is it a metaphor for how she treats her exes, or just a chance to make comedy from the sheer agglomeration of tragedy? Whichever metric one uses, “Laid” ultimately falls short. Go to Full Review David Bianculli NPR 01/09/2025
Sally Bradford McKenna and Nahnatchka Khan developed "Laid" for American TV and wrote the teleplay for the pilot, which Khan directed. Their sensibility is witty, wild and supremely confident. They give their star the latitude to roam freely. Go to Full Review Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) 01/03/2025
3.5/5
A little filthy, quite frank -- Laid kept making me laugh in unexpected ways. Go to Full Review Kristen Maldonado Pop Culture Planet 01/17/2025
[A] bold performance by Hsu. She has you rooting for her despite the consistent mistakes she makes, while Mamet is a stand out as her supportive and hilarious best friend. There are tons of exciting cameos and the script is full of funny and niche jokes. Go to Full Review Weiting Liu Common Sense Media 12/25/2024
The series' tricky and controversial premise wouldn't work so well if not for Hsu's wide emotional range, from struggles with conflicted feelings to brave embraces of identities and regrets. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 12/24/2024
Stephanie Hsu’s dynamic lead performance is the main attraction of Laid, but the quest to figure out why Ruby’s lovers are dying and what this all means to her romantic life will be a funny and interesting journey to take with her. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Aye E Nov 25 What the heck? How did this get cancelled? It was such a great show, the lead is so good in this, and I couldn't wait to see the next season. See more Sarai M. @smorenx Nov 11 Absolutely loved this show! Quirky and funny. Hoping for a second season. See more Jessica B Oct 24 Peacock should really bring this back since it not that long just pick up new season this show was underappreciated when I came out and not promoted like it is now to make ppl watch but 100% greatest show and left off with cliff hanger omg they can go so many ways with the 2 season I think 1st season was great the way it was but if needed by some add some more laughs and run it it was a great show wish it had a 2nd season See more Lee M Aug 12 As likeable as the two female leads are, we just couldn't get past the 3rd episode. If I'm going to spend 30 minutes on a comedy, I need more than a couple laughs per episode. The premise is absurd and the writing just can't overcome that. The 93% critic score is baffling to me. See more Kalissa H @kali_416 Aug 1 I had to stop during episode 2 because the main character’s word vomit with a client was too much. With all the positive reviews maybe I’ll revisit it, especially because I like John Early so I want to see his scenes. See more Karen V Jun 22 This is an under-appreciated series on Peacok. They should have released it during the the spring break. If you are looking for a comedy, crazy story, this series is it. See more Read all reviews
