Casting is key, and Annaleigh Ashford nails it as Gina. ... I enjoyed Bob (Hearts) Abishola immensely last season, but the show’s modest ratings suggest that this is a make-or-break year. And I like what I see so far here, so I can’t help but… be positive. Read full review

The writing sparkles; so does Ms. Ashford. The edginess of the dialogue, the rather outre subject matter and a seeming disregard for what has long constituted the stuff of network sitcoms are, in a word, refreshing. Read full review

Like most Chuck Lorre-branded shows, B Positive starts out as a barrage of one-liners, most of them admittedly funny, but not necessarily suggesting a solid structure for a continuing show. Yet somehow during all the raucous punchlines, some engaging characters start to show up. Read full review

[As Gina, Annaleigh] Ashford is warm, wacky, larger and weirder than life. She elevates the premise of B Positive. [9 - 22 Nov 2020, p.9]

With settings like Gina’s job at an assisted living facility and Drew’s dialysis group turned frank support group, “B Positive” works to lend more personality and authenticity to what could otherwise be just a basic odd couple show. Should it get the room to go forward, the show would be smart to expand upon those elements that make Gina and Drew seem more human instead of leaning on their wacky differences. Read full review

The “B Positive” pilot is decent enough as CBS sitcoms go. It doesn’t show the promise of “The Big Bang Theory” pilot but it’s not as bad as plenty of other CBS’s past sitcoms, like last season’s “Carol’s Second Act.” Read full review

With a cheerful dose of dutifulness, the show all but insists that life must go on for all of us. Even the mundane must endure. ... Positive or negative, we’ll just leave it be. Read full review

Different situation, but this is basically a redux of Leonard and Penny as in Big Bang.

Not as bad as some. Still leaves a lot to be desired.

Writing has a lot to be desired. The main characters are as superficial as the supporting characters.

When I saw the commercials for this show I thought it looks horrible, and it is horrible. Middleditch, is an unappealing actor., isn’t funny, his stand up is bad, and he was the worst character on Silicon Valley. Middleditch has no range as an actor he basically appears to be playingWhen I saw the commercials for this show I thought it looks horrible, and it is horrible. Middleditch, is an unappealing actor., isn’t funny, his stand up is bad, and he was the worst character on Silicon Valley. Middleditch has no range as an actor he basically appears to be playing himself. Annaleigh Ashford is good and a wacky character. The show is just dumb, not interesting, and won’t last a full season.… Expand

This . . . might be the worst sitcom every made. I don't share Pdfortune's misguided opinion that MIddleditch is a poor actor - I think he's actually an excellent actor. The issue is that this is the laziest, least-funny direction and scripting ever committed to the small screen.
