Explore life, death and everything in between through the relatable, hilarious and brutally honest lens of the working-class Conner household, which is located in the drab, fictional exurb of Langford, Ill; with the inimitable Roseanne Barr at its epicenter as the family's matriarch, the series tackles current issues with fresh stories and even more laughs; Roseanne is joined by her husband, Dan and their children, D.J., Darlene and Becky; Roseanne's warm, but neurotic, sister Jackie rounds out the core of the family.

Not only is Roseanne a domestic goddess, but she is the queen of Halloween. Or Halloween episodes, anyway, as no series before or since has put such effort into crafting memorable All Hallow's Eve celebrations. Go to Full Review Dorothy Rabinowitz Wall Street Journal 03/23/2018
The writing is sharp, the performances skilled. Ms. Barr and Mr. Goodman are their splendidly seasoned comic selves, and that's more than enough reason to welcome the return of Roseanne. Go to Full Review Genevieve Koski AV Club 11/03/2017
"The Little Sister" bears [Joss] Whedon's stamp in both its witty dialogue ... and its unexpected poignancy. Go to Full Review Joe Reid Decider 03/04/2019
The Conners' oversized love for Halloween add up to so many funny, strange moments. There was a looseness, too, to the vibe of the show in its early seasons, which made everything feel more realistic. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
