American Princess might have just been a one-off rom-com in another life, like a Ren Faire-set Overboard, but the show soon settles into something smarter, darker and emotionally richer than its high-concept fish-out-of-troubled-water conceit might indicate.
-
American Princess” feels like it wants to be a “My Name is Earl”-style coterie of oddball characters but once it introduces the main cast over the first two episodes it does little with them that’s funny.
-
The show also makes it impossible to root for Amanda or even to be vaguely interested in what happens to her, so outright unpleasant company is she. ... The ambient sense that something is very off here, that the bones of a warm and charming comedy are being subsumed by a lack of writerly control.
