Michael Starr New York Post 10/20/2021
Dildarian fans, and those who appreciate sharp, slightly warped adult comedy, will enjoy "Ten Year Old Tom" and the slightly-off-kilter world of this clever series. Go to Full Review Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter 10/01/2021
Ten Year Old Tom is well worth checking out. Go to Full Review John Anderson Wall Street Journal 09/30/2021
Ten Year Old Tom is something of a comedic triumph, however. Tom is a mix of the biblical Job and a bemused character out of a Beckett play, and the show is original enough that one goes looking for comparisons. Go to Full Review Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media 12/08/2021
4/5
With appealingly quirky characters and a bone-dry cringe-humor orientation, this animated sitcom calls to mind ironic 1990s stalwarts like "King of the Hill" and "Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist." Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 10/04/2021
it makes for a funny show, mainly because we see Tom stumbling and mumbling through his preteen life, being given advice and "help" by adults who are in no way equipped to advise children. Go to Full Review Daniel Kurland BubbleBlabber 09/27/2021
9.5/10
It's extremely rare that a series comes so fully formed out of the box as Ten Year Old Tom, but this comedy knows exactly what it is and goes about it in the best way possible. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Peter J 06/23/2023 Absolutely Hilarious! I've rewatched season 1 several times. A blend of South Park & Seinfeld resulting in something totally original. 10/10 See more 05/10/2022 This show miraculously creates a comedy style where dark humor and innocence can coexist. South Park does this to an extent, but Ten-Year-Old Tom has a much more feel-good vibe while still maintaining a biting humor to keep you laughing. For those who didn't care for the creator's previous work, Life And Times Of Tim, give this show a try as 10-Year-Old Tom is much more comfortable viewing. I'm already half way through watching the first season a second time, and it's still so good!! See more 02/09/2022 Nothing really stands out and what I found funny wasn't really that funny looking back. There has also been too many shows that explore the problems of a young children at the age of 10. See more 01/29/2022 easily one of the funniest new animated shows out. I laughed out loud at least several times each episode and was genuinely amused the rest of the time. See more 10/29/2021 The art looks like trash but the acting is just perfect. The wit and snark between characters reminds me of Season 1 Archer. Before I knew it, I was looking past the art and just enjoyed the hell out of the show. I am very excited to see more. See more 10/17/2021 Ten year old Tom, is witty I like it the occasional dark humor, it this show doesn't describe preteen life then idk what else does, great series, season 2 on the way? it is very original, I'm happy for HBO that this was a original for them.
