Amid a divided nation, chaotic national discourse and rampant attacks on the press, Murphy decides to return to the airwaves and recruits her FYI team: lifestyle reporter Corky Sherwood, investigative journalist Frank Fontana, and her former wunderkind news producer Miles Silverberg. Joining them is social media director Pat Patel, who is tasked with bringing Murphy and the team into the 21st century. Murphy's millennial son, Avery, shares his mother's competitive spirit and quick wit, and is following in her journalistic footsteps -- perhaps too closely. The team still lets off steam at Phil's Bar, now run by his sister, Phyllis. Now back in the game, Murphy is determined to draw the line between good television and honest reporting, proving that the world needs Murphy Brown now more than ever.

More Show More Episodes Critic Reviews for Murphy Brown Season 11 All Critics (47) | Top Critics (22) | Fresh (21) | Rotten (26) This reboot is tiresome. Nov 26, 2018 | Full Review… Justin Burke The Australian Top Critic There is some pleasure in reconnecting with the old gang, but that eventually wears off. This revival feels so last century. Sep 25, 2018 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review… Verne Gay Newsday Top Critic So far this just isn't a very good show, with both Roseanne and Will & Grace making stronger and funnier first impressions in this particular three-way reboot universe. Sep 28, 2018 | Rating: C | Full Review… Ed Bark Uncle Barky Top Critic The political jokes are relentless and relentlessly tired, leading to a sense of smug overkill. Sep 27, 2018 | Full Review… Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe Top Critic The early episodes don't suggest this humility. They don't seem to have learned that the world has not changed in the ways that Murphy most dislikes only because of the absence of journalists like her, but also because of the limitations. Sep 27, 2018 | Full Review… Linda Holmes NPR Top Critic There's a whiff of The Newsroom about the rebooted Murphy Brown, not so much in the show's sitcom bones-which are very, very creaky-but in the disconnect between all its highfalutin thinking about what the media can and should do. Sep 26, 2018 | Full Review… Willa Paskin Slate Top Critic It's a welcome anomaly to see a 72-year-old woman thriving professionally at the center of a show. Aug 18, 2019 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… Dana Sloane Mediaversity Reviews The problem isn't that Murphy Brown leans anti-Trump, the problem is that the show's writing needs to cut deeper instead of always choosing the easy targets. Jan 31, 2019 | Full Review… Ani Bundel NBC News THINK Murphy Brown is so caught up in being topically anti-Trump that it will surely be yesterday's news before the end of the night. Dec 17, 2018 | Full Review… Dominic Patten Deadline Hollywood Daily Season 11 has proven to be so strong in giving us comedy while while offering social commentary on our nation's politics. Nov 26, 2018 | Full Review… Danielle Solzman Solzy at the Movies It's great to have Murphy Brown back on the air but the show is missing the politically-incorrect edginess it once had. Nov 24, 2018 | Rating: 3.0/4 | Full Review… John Hanlon John Hanlon Reviews Murphy Brown's return has brought unfiltered politics back to primetime in a way we haven't seen in a long while; as the only comedy about journalists on TV, Murphy Brown's been able to wring humor and insight from today's headlines. Nov 7, 2018 | Full Review… Brett White Decider View All Critic Reviews (47) Audience Reviews for Murphy Brown: Season 11 May 11, 2019 If your into old-shaming this is for you. Chris A Feb 28, 2019 I absolutely loved the old series of Murphy Brown and was so excited to hear it was coming back. After watching the first episode I was extremely disappointed but I did give the new series several chances and it really didn�Â?Â?t get any better. Every episode was like an afterschool special. I know the original series had episodes regarding specific issues : political, current events, etc but It was actually funny and not every episode wereon those topics unlike this new series. maybe they just need better writers because we know from the original series the actors have good chemistry and are very funny together but this new series seems to be forced and includes a series of one-liners that are not funny. Kelli G Feb 12, 2019 I LOVE Murphy Brown. It is smart and entertaining. Anna C Dec 21, 2018 The laughs were good, although Bergen was a little stiff in the acting department throughout. Andrew J Dec 14, 2018 We love this show! Nice watching Candace as Murphy and all the former casts and new ones too....I like it when they're being funny, sometimes they do the drama, I prefer when they do comedy (right now, it's like drama in the news) so we enjoy watching Murphy Brown especially when the ending is funny.... we liked the first 2 episodes a lot and the one with the dog, cute Romeo D Dec 11, 2018 I loved the original 10 seasons, so I was really looking forward to this. Well,I didnt even make it to the end of the first episode. It started kind of clunky, but the cameo in the middle was the deal breaker. I expected better from Murphy Brown than simplistic partisanship. Kathy H Dec 01, 2018 When reality doesn't fit your narrative, you make it up. John W Nov 29, 2018 I used to watch the original show. Perhaps I remember it as better than it was, but the reboot has been disappointing to say the least. Every conservative character is instead a caricature. All the leftist/liberal characters are portrayed as the only good and decent people. John M Nov 24, 2018 I liked the original show, but the only thing good on the re-boot, is Avery. Nov 15, 2018 overall its fine so far but old slugger isnt doing much slugging anymore.
