Season 1 Review: Instead of making Diane Dunbrowski a walking Chicago joke machine, the creators of Chicago Party Aunt have actually given her a heart and a rudimentary moral code. And that will be how the show will be able to sustain itself for multiple seasons. Read full review

Season 1 Review: A bawdy, rollicking, farcical, hilarious and surprisingly warmhearted love letter to the Chicago (and the Chicago area). Read full review

Season 1 Review: If you’re someone who grew up in the same Chicago as Diane and Daniel, maybe “Chicago Party Aunt” will appeal to your knee-jerk “hey, I know that place!” sensibilities. If not, there are plenty of other animated show dirtbags out there who can give you more of a reason to root for them, even if by just providing the slightest hint of a twist on the most expected jokes they could make.

Season 1 Review: It feels like it probably should have been made in 2011. It also means that even though it masquerades as a character-driven comedy, it’s actually joke-driven at the expense of character and storytelling at every turn, much to its detriment. Read full review
