The funniest series of recent memory. .... The cast is uniformly first-rate, not just the likes of Mr. Tenney but the lesser knowns. .... While there might be a revival—as in a second season—one hopes not. It couldn’t be this good.
-
The only duty is to recombine things well, to keep them fresh and funny as well as comforting, and it’s fully discharged here over eight swift, sure and never-too-schmaltzy episodes.
-
Across the eight-episode series, things move from the ridiculous to the sublime.
-
American Classic isn’t going to make you laugh out loud, but its excellent cast and warm small-town-and-family feeling will be more than enough to keep you watching.
-
This is curl-up-on-the-sofa comfort viewing at its finest, a “Forced Fresh Start” redemption arc story in the tradition of “Northern Exposure,” “Hart of Dixie,” “Schitt’s Creek,” and “Ted Lasso.”
-
While it fails to approach the same comedy and writing heights of those aforementioned series [“Only Murders in the Building” and “Schitt’s Creek”], creators Michael Hoffman and Bob Bob Martin’s champagne-bubbly sendup of the stage world earns positive notices mostly due to its cast.
