After being fired from her beloved role as head coach of a first-class cheerleading team, Courteney Potter is ready to stage the ultimate comeback. Just one championship shy of becoming the winningest college cheer coach ever, she takes a new job in a small Southern town where she recruits a group of lovable misfits in the hopes of training them to become a competitive squad. But getting this collection of underdogs to the nationals in the highly competitive world of junior college cheer might just be Courteney's toughest job yet.

The results here, rich in slapstick and silliness, are very good. I laughed a lot, anyway. Go to Full Review Aramide Tinubu Variety Nov 7
With a highly talented cast who clearly know their characters and exceptional comedic timing, the show hits the ground running, and it can only reach new heights from here. Go to Full Review Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter Nov 7
The comedy is a tonal mess, veering between underdeveloped jokes and unearned sentiment. But it’s a mess that’s trying so hard, and with such a big smile, that you still kinda hope it’ll find it’s footing someday. Go to Full Review Olivia Thomas Tell-Tale TV Jan 22
3.75/5
Despite being a bit all over the place at points, "Lorraine" eventually pulls itself together and serves as a great reintroduction to the series. Go to Full Review Stephanie Morgan Common Sense Media Nov 11
4/5
The writing is sharp, the dialogue spot on, and the tone is a perfect balance of earnest and absurd. Go to Full Review Diana Keng Geek Girl Authority Nov 8
Stumble bursts onto the scene with heart and humor....deliver[s] absurdly endearing, unapologetic hijinks and fills a half-hour with pure escapist glee. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

geoff M. @glm0002 1d Best new comedy on TV in years. Definitely an underrated and not well known enough show. See more Mandy F @Mandy_Foster_17 1d This the funniest and most well-written show on television today. Stumble is a MUST SEE. As mentioned, the writing is stellar. You should watch it multiple times (and use your pause button) to pick up on all the brilliant jokes. Speaking of jokes, there are multiple running jokes that never cease to amuse. The cast. OMG, the cast! Every single character is perfectly cast and each actor is brilliant in their role. The athleticism is astounding. This is a show about college cheerleaders and the routines they perform blow my mind. The writing! I know, I know... I already said this bit but the writing is so good that this bears repeating. I literally LOL not only on first watches but in second (and sometimes third) re-watches. In summary, this is a phenomenal comedy. You will love it and will soon be a die-hard #Stumbler, too. #RollButtonsRoll #GoButtons See more Jodie E. 1d This show is amazing. It is so funny and clever. I love that they show a healthy marriage and the coach is a good person who really cares about the people on her team. It is the only show I watch where I actually put down my phone. See more Avi K. @revgonnachange192 4d Best new comedy this year! Perfectly cast, hilarious and also heartwarming. See more Matthew H. @mattnhayes 5d The editing, writing, and acting are so overdone while still feeling cheap. Not to mention the complete lack of investment in all characters. One of the least funny shows that I have had to watch See more Hollie L. @holliegobrightly Feb 17 Charming and so witty! LOVE IT and can't wait for new episodes to come out. We need a second season!!! See more Read all reviews
