Hal Boedeker Orlando Sentinel 01/08/2020
Even with Las Vegas as backdrop, wrestling as a component and risque dialogue being spoken, WB's Nikki comes off as incredibly insipid. Go to Full Review Ramin Zahed Variety 01/08/2020
Sitcom has a heart of gold, but ends up delivering no big laughs and leaving no lasting impressions. Go to Full Review Austin Smith New York Post 01/08/2020
There's something about this new one that I like. For one thing, there's von Esmarch. Go to Full Review Scott D. Pierce Deseret News (Salt Lake City) 01/08/2020
It's standard, low-grade, blue-collar sitcom... Cox is better than the material. As is newcomer von Esmarch, whose unaffected performance is a delight. And the two of them have some chemistry to build on. Go to Full Review David Zurawik Baltimore Sun 01/08/2020
Neither Cox nor von Esmarch are especially talented actors, but there's an easy chemistry between the pair that makes it a pleasant show to watch. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
