Apparently opposites do attract. Malcolm and Eddie are as different as one can imagine. Nevertheless, they're best friends who manage to be roommates as well as co-workers and not kill each other.

It's goofy silliness that leans heavily on black stereotypes, and might appeal to fans of "Martin." Go to Full Review Ken Tucker Entertainment Weekly 07/02/2019
C-
It's no accident that the debut featured an extended riff on the old Redd Foxx show Sanford and Son; like Fred and Lamont Sanford, Malcolm and Eddie bicker and bark at each other. It's just that their lines aren't nearly as good. Go to Full Review Bruce R. Miller Sioux City Journal 10/25/2021
If Neil Simon got royalties every time somebody ripped off his Odd Couple, he'd be an even richer man. Go to Full Review Rick Kushman Sacramento Bee 10/20/2021
1.5/4
The pair has chemistry. Warner is a good actor. Griffin is a good comic. Too bad the show's so childish. Malcolm and Eddie should be insulted that someone asked them to do this. Go to Full Review James Endrst Hartford Courant 10/19/2021
