Coon doesn't so much bring Nora to life than embed her as one of the most engaging female characters television has seen - she could well be mentioned alongside Carmela Soprano (Edie Falco). Go to Full Review Joshua Alston AV Club 04/24/2017

"Don't Be Ridiculous" is an excellent hour of television, a showcase for the amazing Carrie Coon, and another Leftovers that affirms why this is secretly TV's most rewarding show. Go to Full Review Sean T. Collins New York Magazine/Vulture 04/24/2017
5/5

If this show teaches us anything about coping, it's that everyone does it in different ways. Go to Full Review Lindsey Romain Refinery29 09/15/2017
