A struggling comic gets a job as a correspondent for a DC-based political talk show, much to the delight of her best friend and segment producer. Of course, as so often happens, once she starts doing what she was hired to do by the station manager, her blunt opinions and style doesn't go over too well with the show's anchors. Wanda doesn't pull any punches in her private life either, navigating the dating world while finding time to give her widowed sister-in-law some pointers on how to raise her two kids.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Wanda at Large reminds viewers that Sykes' bullish quips are funny, but viewers will wonder why they're watching her in this bland sitcom when they could be enjoying her stand up instead.

Linda Stasi New York Post Oct 1, 2019
Wanda At Large could be, should be, a very funny show. Instead it's just an OK show. See, what we got here, boys and girls, is a great comic mind trapped in a formula sitcom. Go to Full Review Tom Shales Washington Post Oct 1, 2019
Wanda Sykes spectacularly plays her supremely confident stand-up comedy persona, but everything else about the series is lame. Go to Full Review Melanie McFarland Seattle Post-Intelligencer Oct 1, 2019
This is "Wanda at Large's" downfall, the lack of a strong supporting cast. All the other characters are one-dimensional cut-outs, be they paper dolls or sugar cookies. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
