Season 1 Review: It’s earnest, reasonably ambitious and lightly funny. But “Connecting …” lacks connection, its characters and dynamics too standard-issue to attach to. Too many of the quick-banter jokes feel as if they need a laugh track. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Connecting… does decently with the frivolous part of the equation, but I find something genuinely unpleasant about using abrupt, unearned emotional nods to George Floyd's murder as a one-off TV comedy kicker. ... Connecting… feels like another, maybe slightly better than some, version of something networks decided they needed without any corresponding audience demand. Read full review
