Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter 10/23/2024
The show’s draw is the rapport between various members of the Wayans clan — a tangible collaborative spirit that keeps Poppa’s House from ever feeling generic, however generic its trappings are on the page. Go to Full Review Aramide Tinubu Variety 10/22/2024

Immensely watchable, this delightful sitcom harnesses the physical comedy and smarts of two members of a beloved comic family. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 10/28/2024
Poppa’s House works because both Wayans Sr. and Jr. lean into what makes each of them funny, and are great together. The more standard sitcommy parts will get better the longer the show stays on the air. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
