"The Comeback" tells the story of a B-list sitcom star so desperate to revive her career that she agrees to star in a reality television show called, appropriately enough, "The Comeback." Cameras follow Valerie Cherish's every move as she angles to keep her head above the Hollywood fray, even as she's woefully out of touch with modern show business. And in the madness that is network television, there is nothing braver than a 40-year-old ingenue who's not quite ready to give up the spotlight.

Chris Vognar Boston Globe 1d
Kudrow, of course, is pitch-perfect, as are returning cast members including Damian Young as Valerie’s mopey husband, Mark, and Laura Silverman as her dogged documentarian, Jane. But the bit players are the scene stealers here. Go to Full Review
Hunter Ingram TheWrap 2d
[Kudrow] is just extraordinary in this role, and this victory lap only solidifies Valerie is one of the greatest pieces of full-bodied comedy creation in TV history. Go to Full Review
Belen Edwards Mashable 11h
The Comeback Season 3's AI focus lends it an urgency that sets it apart from its prior two outings. Yes, it's still hilarious, cynical, and a remarkable showcase for Kudrow in her best role. But on top of all that, it's also something else: a warning. Go to Full Review
Rob Owen Pittsburgh Tribune-Review 14h
In a season as upbeat as Valerie herself, “The Comeback” allows itself some moments of earned emotion. Go to Full Review
