Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter 09/20/2021
For the moment, though, Harper House is more potential than payoff... Pop in for a visit, if you're curious. But be warned that it may take the Harpers some time yet to make their house a home. Go to Full Review

3/5
This humorous series offers a contemporary "reversal of fortune" narrative with lots of irreverent humor. Go to Full Review
John Serba Decider 09/17/2021
It delivers just enough laughs - a couple big ones, plenty of amused smirks - to overcome its familiarities and weaknesses. Go to Full Review

8.5/10
The Harper House is a magic trick of a television show where it lulls the audience in with its unassuming nature, only to slowly bombard them with brilliant madness. Go to Full Review

11/05/2021 Painfully unfunny. The only reason I gave it half a star is because I cant give it none. See more 11/05/2021 This show is less about being entertaining, and more about propagating White guilt. It centers around a recently (but formerly) rich White family of weirdos who now live on the other side of town - the side of town that used to be where the rich White people lived "until White flight." At one point, while trying to avoid paying taxes, they discover their house has a massive statue of a Klansman riding a horse in the attic, which becomes visible through an intricate series of gears that retract the house's roof. I am done watching it. I really did give it a fighting chance. Even after I began to be disgusted by this turd, I continued to watch, hoping for improvement. I am especially disgusted and disappointed by Jason Lee, who was great prior to this disaster. See more Read all reviews
