John Anderson Wall Street Journal 06/17/2022
In addition to the deft comic performances by Mr. Gavaris, Ms. Shamoun and Ms. Stiles, The Lake has a better-than-predictable galaxy of orbiting satellite characters. Go to Full Review Manuel Betancourt AV Club 06/16/2022
C+
At points, a subplot involving a threesome can feel novel and fresh, and at others it can comes off like a discarded, raunchy B-storyline from a sitcom. Go to Full Review M.N. Miller Ready Steady Cut 01/02/2023
2.5/5
The Lake is an uneven sitcom experience with a solid comic turn by Jordan Gavaris. Go to Full Review Bill Brioux Brioux.tv 07/01/2022
Gavaris, in fact, shines in this series. His character gets more interesting every episode and so does that of his very winning co-star, Shamoun. Go to Full Review Alex Hudson Exclaim! 06/27/2022
5/10
A tedious barrage of threesomes, fish with herpes, and references to past hookups. Go to Full Review Monique Jones Common Sense Media 06/24/2022
3/5
The series makes for funny, gentle viewing, especially if you love family-centric situational comedy. The Lake is perfect for the sun-drenched days of summer, and it also mixes in poignant moments about family togetherness. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Roberto R @RT13714219 08/13/2024 Honestly was expecting much worse, but this is a good heartwarming tv show, with good music and a nice scenery See more Kelly M @Tuneyloon7 07/15/2024 Really enjoyed this show. Bummed there won’t be a season 3. If you liked Schitt’s Creek you’ll probably have a good time with these wacky cottagers. See more 07/27/2022 The first episode is a bit slow but then it becomes surprisingly addictive. Witty and intelligent writing and interesting storyline. See more julie c @RT52872351 07/22/2022 Good fun, just like being at the family cottage for the summer. Jordan Gavaris and Julia Stiles are great as always, but Declan Whaley was a revelation! I'd definitely watch a second season! See more 07/19/2022 Fun and easy to watch, I like these countryside family series. See more 07/09/2022 Despite a couple of mildly cringey scenes "The Lake" was a fun romp with some very clever writing, interesting characters and great performances. Lots of laughs here :) I hope they make a second season - I will be watching! See more Read all reviews
