B+
A funny and effective episode in the short term (with a fantastic central performance from regular guest star Doug Jones), but basically inert in the long. Go to Full Review Melanie McFarland Salon.com 08/26/2023
Guillermo assisted Laszlo's parenting, but almost always in the background. Having Laszlo turn his full attention to Gizmo for a season, then, adds a seam to a character that already had the audience in his thrall. Go to Full Review Proma Khosla IndieWire 08/25/2023
