The Hollywood Reporter

Ray Richmond

We get the feeling Grier is much more concerned with scoring a laugh than raising an issue, which makes his well-placed jabs all the more clever. Read full review

Washington Post

Paul Farhi

Baltimore Sun

David Zurawik

This is social satire, and Grier's job is to make a mainstream audience see race and power in new ways. That often involves shock. Read full review

Philadelphia Daily News

Ellen Gray

This is not unfunny stuff, but in a week in which a show that's willing to turn a satirical eye on race might have drawn real laughs, Chocolate News feels a bit like a lost opportunity. Read full review

Entertainment Weekly

Clark Collis

Time

James Poniewozik

In all, not a great debut, but one with potential, and it shows off Grier's versatility well. Read full review

Rob Owen

David Alan Grier, star of the new Chocolate News gets points for moxie, but the series fails on too many other counts. Read full review
