Jonathan Storm Philadelphia Inquirer Jun 4
The show has darkly riotous moments, and by the people-can-insult-themselves standard, Schaeffer should get a pass. Go to Full Review Bill Goodykoontz Arizona Republic Jun 4
It is an at-times unrelentingly dark look at a subject that on its face doesn't exactly sound like a barrel of laughs. And to Starved's credit, if not always the viewer's, it's not. Go to Full Review David Bianculli New York Daily News Jun 4
1/4
This isn't funny, and most of these characters aren't even remotely likable or entertaining. Go to Full Review Alan Pergament Buffalo News Jun 4
2/4
