James Jackson The Times (UK) 08/05/2022
It’s no classic, and never as mirth-inducing as you’d hope, but still a harmless diversion. Go to Full Review
Ben Dowell The Times (UK) 06/24/2022
3/5
While Atkinson’s performance is as commandingly skilful as you would expect, at times it is about as much fun as a boot stamping on a human face for ever, to borrow from George Orwell. Go to Full Review
Anita Singh Daily Telegraph (UK) 06/24/2022
3/5
Atkinson has lost none of his skill and you will watch it quite happily, but it just lacks the genius of Mr Bean. Go to Full Review
Bhuvanesh Chandar The Hindu 11/21/2023
It is incredible how Atkinson, through his trademark slapstick humour, elevates a basic logline of this comedy series to a whole new height. Go to Full Review
Monique Jones Common Sense Media 09/09/2022
3/5
Broad comedy is acquired taste; has cartoonish violence. Go to Full Review
Nabila Hatimy The Star (Kenya) 07/22/2022
3.5/5
It might not be as captivating as Stranger Things, but Atkinson’s charm has always been a family-approved hit, making it a great watch for the whole family. Go to Full Review

Martin B @RT44235356 May 11 You need to be in the proper frame of mind to appreciate this shows absurdity but if you can go with the flow it's time well spent. That's exactly what I wrote for Man vs Baby. On the one hand I can't believer they got two shows out of this pretty anemic premise but then again I watcher every episode of each. Don't know why but I must have enjoyed it on some level. See more Blue T @NK2011 May 9 It was funny, as promised. However, it was infuriatingly stupid at times. Oh wait, no, actually, it was infuriatingly stupid for the entirety of all its episodes' screentime combined. But then again, that was the point. This was that sort of show, deliberately made to frustrate its viewers and entertain them simultaneously. The negative reviews are from people who expected too much. I think the best thing about Man vs. Bee was Rowan Atkinson, I couldn't hate his character as Trevor despite Trevor's immense stupidity. Had it been anyone else who played the main character the show wouldn't be as loved. See more Matt S. @monyzworth Jan 12 Mr Bean type humor which Rowan Atkinson has perfected - and it’s cool to hear him talk. What a great show. A simple concept which you would think could only go so far but it still left me wanting more! Well done! See more Horror fan 4 @Horrorfan4life Jan 6 My only complaint is that they should've made this into a movie. This was hilarious and only Rowan Atkinson can pull this off. Tim Treakle See more Dave C @RT09838700 Dec 14 I laughed three times. Once at my partner coming in and rolling her eyes; secondly and thirdly at two occasions when he answers the door to a Police Officer. It's nowhere near the level of physical comedy he's renowned for, and the target audience seems to be 4yr olds See more Ken D @mynameisken Dec 14 mental illness awareness. this is about a seriously mentally ill man being tragically mentally ill. in theory it shouldnt be funny but it is funny.
