A review of a movie, or a restaurant, or a car -- or whatever else that typically falls under a critic's domain -- is all well and good, and can even be helpful at times. But how can one find out about myriad other experiences that are never tackled in reviews? Enter Forrest MacNeil, a critic who goes beyond overviews of life's more-common subjects -- way beyond -- to satisfy the curiosity of others: The adrenaline rush of stealing; the danger of drug addiction; the delight of sleeping with a celebrity. MacNeil tries anything suggested by viewers of his TV show, then presents a 1-to-5-star review. But his unwavering commitment to experiencing intense adventures means he must deal with the unintended consequences of such a goal. Andy Daly ("Eastbound & Down") stars as MacNeil.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

The subversive Review lures viewers with a seemingly innocuous hook and gradually reveals a disturbing commitment to its high concept, making for one of the darkest - and uproarious - of comedies.

The show becomes a painfully hilarious but melancholy study of the detached appreciation of life getting in the way of life itself. Go to Full Review Allison Keene Collider 10/16/2018
What makes Review so good is Andy Daly's cherubic face and earnest portrayal of Forrest, paired with such bleakness. Go to Full Review David Sims The Atlantic 10/16/2018
With every passing week it becomes clearer what an incredible arc star and creator Andy Daly has planned for the season. Go to Full Review Pilot Viruet Flavorwire 10/16/2018
It's a strange and somewhat twisted program, but I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being the funniest show to premiere in 2014. Go to Full Review Hudson Hongo Paste Magazine 10/16/2018
Review feels... hindered by its unusual presentation, but the radically morose "Pancakes, Divorce, Pancakes" suggests a serious ambition for the show, one that might ultimately overcome these flaws. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Each episode's silly & usually ridiculous experience being reviewed gets expanded to show the sometimes terrible repercussions to Forrest MacNeil's life. Couldn't wait to see what happens next, will Forrest spiral down in flames, or somehow recover to soaring heights of greatness & fame? See more 01/18/2017 Review is a dark comedy about a nerdy workaholic who "reviews life itself," such as what it is like to be addicted to cocaine. His life falls apart as he subjects himself to these experiences, yet he stays committed to his work, hoping he will eventually achieve greatness.
