Judy Berman TIME Magazine 08/30/2024
Best of all is Christie’s funny, searching performance, which defies quirk and sanctimony alike to give us a rare portrait of a woman embracing a much-maligned stage of life. Go to Full Review Anita Singh Daily Telegraph (UK) 06/27/2023
3/5
Christie is on fine form as a fed-up wife and mother but her sitcom tries too hard to be offbeat. Go to Full Review Rachel Cooke New Statesman 06/27/2023
I like Linda, who’s smart enough to grasp -- oh, God, do I have to say the word again? -- that in the end, the menopause may signal freedom. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 08/02/2024
A funny show with a simple premise, which works mostly because of Bridget Christie’s winning performance. Go to Full Review Anne Brodie What She Said 08/02/2024
4/4
The Change is Exquisitely funny, and beautifully written. Christie is a revelation for North American audiences, her wit and understanding of the way people think, her late-blooming adventurous spirit – inspiration in droves. Go to Full Review Farah Cheded A Good Movie To Watch 07/27/2023
79/100
The spiritual link it draws between its apparently unrelated focuses — menopause and the natural environment — adds to its originality and empathy, making this a comedy of untypical thoughtfulness. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Kathryn R @Kathryn3426 Jan 2 This is one of the most beautiful TV series I have ever watched. I laughed so much. I also cried. Absolutely recommend to men and women alike. But it's especially poignant if you're a woman in her 40s or 50s. I can't even express all the range of emotions that this show had me experiencing. If I could give 10 Stars I would. See more Anna J Sep 18 Sublimely perfect, beautiful series. Light hearted, accurate, poignant, inspiring and very funny all at once. Thanks Bridget Christie, I so needed that! Thank goodness there's a second series See more Drina W May 28 This is hysterical and brilliant!! Women in the woods, people in the woods in general, the trusims, the throw-in of mysticism, the magic of trees. It touches all the heart places on top of the witty dark humor. Like where has this show been all our lives? What I love most about this is the way it applauds standing up for carving out your own path in the world and elevates characters and archetypes that are usually placed in the shadows. See more Jodi G 01/14/2025 I absolutely ADORE this show!! I cried, laughed, cried some more! It was like a religious experience, admittedly I might be biased because I'm currently going through "the change" myself. This should be required viewing for anyone who owns/used to own a uterus!! It's funny enough to be entertaining for anyone, but if you are a woman going through hormonal changes it might just change your life and how you view yourself in the best most positive way! It's quite quirky but just go with it. It will be worth the ride!! See more Claire G 10/29/2023 Please can we have much, much more TV like this. If you're reading this because you're wondering whether to watch this, just give it a try. You'll know within 5 minutes whether it's for you. See more M 07/11/2023 Really enjoyed a funny, honest take on an important but overlooked subject. Good characters, great cast. Shame it was only 6 episodes: the story needed more, the quality deserved it. See more Read all reviews
