Tom Shales Washington Post 08/09/2019
They're all unlikable in different ways, and the pilot features icky jokes about death, defecation and diarrhea. In sum: utterly unnecessary and flagrantly flat. Go to Full Review Shawna Malcom Entertainment Weekly 08/09/2019
For a sitcom heavy on banter, the badinage here has too low a wit quotient. Go to Full Review Howard Rosenberg Los Angeles Times 08/09/2019
"The Secret Lives of Men" is devoid of good times. This is one of those witless, single-buddy comedies that richly deserves secrecy. Go to Full Review Terry Kelleher People Magazine 08/10/2019
Some viewers will dig the rhythm of the constant banter; others will react with a simple "Shuddup!" Put us in the first group-tentatively. Go to Full Review Scott D. Pierce Deseret News (Salt Lake City) 08/10/2019
We see the guys play golf quite a bit and we hear them moan about their lots in life quite a bit too much, but it's all overly familiar and unfunny stuff. Go to Full Review David Zurawik Baltimore Sun 08/09/2019
Could some men's secret lives really be as dull as those of this trio? Creator Susan Harris needs to make the acquaintance of some new men. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
