Andrew and Lauren are about to have a baby, and they're finding it pretty difficult to keep the news from friends and family. When the secret gets out, the couple learns it can be just as demanding to navigate the politics of parenthood as it'll be raising a child. Knowing what's best for your child is easy compared to maintaining sane relationships with friends and family.
Notes From the Underbelly — Season 1

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Notes From the Underbelly can be funny at times, but it's mostly an uninspired and clichéd sitcom about pregnancy.

Thank goodness Rachael Harris is there, as Cooper the over-achieving professional, to inject acid retorts and tart cynicism into the proceedings. Go to Full Review Emily St. James Slant Magazine 11/25/2019
This is all fitfully amusing... but it all just feels so same-old, same-old on a network that seems intent on yuppifying every possible genre and type of show. Go to Full Review Tim Goodman San Francisco Chronicle 11/25/2019
Unexpectedly, it's funny. And it gets funnier and sharper in future episodes. Go to Full Review Mike Kelly Toledo Blade 11/25/2019
Neither of the show's lead characters is particularly appealing. Andrew is a self-absorbed whiner and Lauren, though the more level-headed one, is not much better. Together, the two of them have little to no chemistry. Go to Full Review Boston Herald Staff Boston Herald 11/25/2019
Of the cast, Westfeldt is likable and possesses great timing, but most of the comedy here is stillborn. By obsessing about the minutiae of pregnancy, "Underbelly" is of interest to only a few. "The Wonder Years," this ain't. Go to Full Review Glenn Garvin Miami Herald 11/25/2019
