Critic Reviews

Season 1 Review:
An unabashedly sweet comedy. ... And yet it’s laudable that the first three episodes make the most of their abbreviated runtimes to treat the rest of the story, particularly that between Bob and Abishola themselves, with more heart and nuance. ... The show probably can’t keep them [Bob and Abishola] from a relationship for too long without stretching its premise too thin, but for now, their dynamic is a refreshingly unique one for a broadcast network sitcom.

Season 1 Review:
What draws you into the show isn't the will-they-or-won't-they marriage plot, but Bob's earnest likeability contrasted with the pragmatic vivacity of its immigrant characters. Olowofoyeku bewitches as the delightfully gruff and straightforward Abishola. ... So far it's pleasant, detailed and occasionally laugh-out-loud funny.

Season 1 Review:
If "Abishola" can move its main couple into a romance at a slow but steady pace and still find comedy once the relationship status is a little more official, Lorre may have another long-lasting sitcom on his hands. It probably won't have the volume or flair of "Big Bang," but going small and subtle can work just as well.

Season 1 Review:
Bob Hearts Abishola feels good -- and good to go -- the second Olowofoyeku enters the picture and begins riffing with Gardell. They seem to be made for one another -- at first as actors and eventually as characters whose future dating ups and downs should keep this show on a steady, agreeable course.
