More Show More Episodes Critic Reviews for The Odd Couple Season 1 All Critics (34) | Top Critics (25) | Fresh (9) | Rotten (25) It's impossible to say how the show will progress from here, but it's hard to believe that it will ever feel anything other than remarkably familiar and derivative of better properties with better casts. Feb 17, 2015 | Full Review… Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Top Critic As it turns out, Perry is fine as Oscar, but the show is only intermittently funny. Feb 16, 2015 | Full Review… Tom Conroy Media Life Top Critic The casting is more intriguing than the jokes are funny. It remains to be seen whether the remake succeeds on its own or is just a curiosity for devotes of the earlier adaptation. Feb 12, 2015 | Full Review… Joanne Ostrow Denver Post Top Critic I'm not quite hooked. And if others feel the same way and with the overabundance of TV options today, then that doesn't bode well for The Odd Couple. Feb 20, 2015 | Full Review… Jethro Nededog TheWrap Top Critic I really, really wanted to like this pilot and the truth is, I didn't. But, that's not to say that I won't give the series a bit of a chance. Feb 19, 2015 | Full Review… Anne Easton Observer Top Critic The problem? Maybe it's the speed with which all this unfolds, but too often in this first episode things feel awkward, as if the dialogue were written mostly to set up jokes, and therefore the character part of the story seems forced. Feb 19, 2015 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… David Hinckley New York Daily News Top Critic Perry and Lennon are good in their respective roles and have certainly got the talent to bring this to life. Let's hope they do before everyone switches off. Apr 26, 2017 | Full Review… Pattie Pegler Stuff.co.nz Unlikely friends mock each other endlessly in stale sitcom. Feb 25, 2015 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review… Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media Much of The Odd Couple's pilot episode pays homage to its source material... but Perry and Lennon seem to have fun with this modern-day retelling, despite the decades-old story at its core. Feb 24, 2015 | Full Review… Rebecca Iannucci TV Line Friends veteran Matthew Perry, who helped develop this version and serves as executive producer, might just be the weakest Oscar of any version.
