Amber Dowling Globe and Mail Mar 5
Like most comedies, it takes a while for the characters to click, and by the end of the 10-episode run, the viewers become a part of that world, with all its inside jokes and quirks. Go to Full Review Glen Weldon NPR Mar 3
This is a very, very funny -- frequently hilarious -- series that prizes well-written, well-timed, well-delivered jokes, and that knows how to use its actors to serve them up in the best way possible. Go to Full Review Verne Gay Newsday Feb 24
2/4
A consistently sharp, amusing show. Go to Full Review Neely Swanson Beverly Hills Courier Apr 21
“The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins” takes several cliched ideas, the fallen hero and the mockumentary, among others, and somehow makes them new again. Go to Full Review Kristen Maldonado Pop Culture Planet Apr 8
This quirky ensemble is impossible not to love. Sharp recurring gags, timely pop culture references, and absurdly funny moments make The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins a redemption story that’s as hilarious as it is heartfelt. Go to Full Review Bruce R. Miller Sioux City Journal Mar 12
3.5/4

Andrei D @RT74856639 2d It needs to be whackyer, drop the classic sitcom conventions, make it more about Tobin and Reggie See more Everett P. @everepalet Apr 21 I haven't laughed out loud at a show like this in a while! Gold! See more L D @RT61720173 Apr 19 The show is funny but very racist. It's not in vouge or right to say "crackers" Or "I don't trust white people" you can not go one episode without punching down on Whites. If you want to be brave say Jewish jokes, but its old and racist Tina Fey to just be lazy and make Jews, Irish, Italian, Greek, etc, the butt of your racist jokes - stop it. If it were the other way around there would be UN binding resolutions on hate speech but if this is the world you are all proud of NBC and Tina Fey, then keep being RACIST towards whites, its not ok, we are not a monolith, its old and weak writing punching down, all comedians, the new movies in the preview's attack whites, for the color of our skin, even a 3 year old is a "cracker" shame - it's not funny and I see how Black must have felt in the 50s and 60s should you give us big lips too! See more Patrick S @RT75596296 Apr 18 So funny! The best new comedy on television. See more Dan W @RT63070558 Apr 17 A comedic masterpiece! See more Aye E @RT43717499 Apr 14 This is such a great show. I started watching it to see Tracy Morgan and Daniel Radcliffe together, they are good, doing what's expected, but Erika Alexander is stealing the show!! I love watching her more than anyone else, her timing & expressions, OMG she's perfect! Bonus points for having the best of Tina Fey shows without that overused score that was on everything from 30 Rock to Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. It was so overdone I couldn't stomach watching more than one episode of GIrls5Eva. No score on this really elevates it to a modern style and lets the performances and editing set the tone, which is letting them shine. But the useless assistant is a tired, overdone trope that they sadly used here, so half star off. And I hope they do better with Erika's hair in the future, sometimes it's great, but other times it's like they are trying to make her look like she just got out of bed. Maybe it's a character thing, but that needs to be made more obvious if that's the case. See more Read all reviews
