Jen Maravegias Pajiba Jul 9
The storytelling in Survival of the Thickest has been concise across all of its seasons, and the comedy on point. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider Jul 6
We like that Survival Of The Thickest is bringing Mavis’ story to a conclusion with some funny, inspired episodes that make sense for her arc. We wish more comedies dealt with their stories the way Thickest does. Go to Full Review Andrew Parker The Gate Jul 5

Survival of the Thickest still showcases just how invaluable of a comedic talent Buteau is in the role of a plus size designer trying to make a living in the cutthroat New York City fashion world. Go to Full Review Jeanine T. Abraham VisAbleBlackwoman (Medium) Jul 2

A woman loving her body unconditionally if she’s larger than a size eight is becoming harder and harder to actually do in the age of Ozempic, but Michelle Buteau is determined to model unconditional self-love. Go to Full Review LaNeysha Campbell But Why Tho? Jul 2

Survival of the Thickest honors the series’ emotional core with its third and final season. Go to Full Review Sherin Nicole Geek Girl Riot / RIOTUS Jul 2
S3 feels as well composed as an operatic club hit. You’ll be sweating through the drama, throwing your hands up at the triumphs, and swaying with the salty-sweetness. This is a warmly spicy, heartfelt, and fun final season. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

D L @DaturaDreamer Jul 8 No heart in the characters. Mavis says her lines so flatly and all the acting seems stained. See more Christian G @chrispresario Jul 8 Its losing its steam. They should cool it with the cameos and guest stars. Some of the acting. Dialogue and timing is bad enough. The jokes are there though with the lead actress. See more Landon C @Landon27 Jul 7 This season was so good! The story is so moving and emotional! I just love!!! It’s creative and different! It’s inclusive and it feels like a show that’s so effortlessly inclusive! See more Veado L @Veadolove1969 Jul 3 What happened to these scripts? This season is poorly written. (the previous seasons were well written) It's all forced and awkward. Mavis "all of a sudden" goes to Paris and whips up a fashion show at the last minute?She's pregnant, and then she's not. The actors are great but this final season is awkward. Tasha Smith is in Portugal? huh? This season's writing needs some revision. The emotional tone seems like a "Brady Bunch" script. See more L. F @RT68678650 Jul 2 Something's not ringing true about series 3, sadly... the script is seriously lacking, the characters all feel like caricatures and none of the conversations seem sincere. It definitely tries to do too much and ends up feeling extremely rushed. I think it also pushes the "goofy comedy" angle a bit too hard and forgets to bring the audience along with it.
