The perpetually suit-clad comedic trio of Michael Ian Black, Michael Showalter and David Wain navigate their everyday lives in a rather absurd and sophomoric way.

Brian Lowry Variety 10/02/2019
There's a fine line, between zany and merely annoying, with gags so pitched toward the absurd as to leave anyone who doesn't completely yield to them out in the cold. Go to Full Review Nathan Rabin AV Club 10/02/2019
A-
Stella's ads promised "dumb comedy dressed up in a suit," and much of the show's appeal comes from the contrast between its striking visual elegance and the giddy ridiculousness of its plotting and gags. Go to Full Review Paul Schrodt Slant Magazine 10/02/2019
2/4
Stella is essentially sketch comedy presented as an incoherent sitcom, so while individual moments may be arresting, everything in between is mostly stale filler or embarrassingly strained setups. Go to Full Review Marisa LaScala PopMatters 10/02/2019
6/10
Stella forges a brand of television comedy all its own. The good news: it's funny. Go to Full Review Michael Drucker IGN Movies 10/02/2019
9/10
I love Stella because it doesn't fall into the same trap that most modern comedies do. It doesn't try to relate with you. It doesn't pander to its viewers. It never throws in an easy punchline to get casual viewers. Go to Full Review Will Harris Bullz-Eye.com 10/02/2019
4.5/5
It's the first truly uncompromised comedic vision we've seen on television since "Mr. Show" left HBO, and we were lucky to have it for even ten episodes. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
