John Voorhees Seattle Times 06/14/2019
A show with lots of heart and charm but nothing truly compelling enough to make you want to see it week after week. Go to Full Review John J. O'Connor New York Times 06/14/2019
In short, this is pretty standard sitcom foolishness, but Ms. [Thea] Vidale has a special life force of her own. Go to Full Review Greg Dawson Orlando Sentinel 06/14/2019
Thea Vidale just might have the biggest sleeper hit of the season in Thea, a sitcom with heart, soul and a side order of true grits. Go to Full Review Hal Boedeker Miami Herald 02/16/2022
2/4
Jeffries is appealing. The show means well. It simply isn’t funny. Go to Full Review Scott D. Pierce Deseret News (Salt Lake City) 06/14/2019
It's a trite, largely brainless series of juvenile one-liners strung together to create wasted space. If you're satisfied with something that's relatively inoffensive, completely unoriginal and insipid, you'll like "Thea." Go to Full Review David Zurawik Baltimore Sun 06/14/2019
Is "Thea" a great show? No. But it has the elements of a successful 8 o'clock network show. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
