Critic Reviews

Aaron Barnhart

The comedy has a loose, improvisational feel to it, but is still pretty fast-paced. And the four characters are at their funniest just in the room alone, swapping lines with each other, an experience a lot of dudes in their 20s can relate to... or so I’m told. Read full review

Tom Shales

Factory is the network's first try at a situation comedy and, surprisingly enough, it's neither perfunctory nor primitive. It is, in fact, one of the few pleasant surprises of the summer. Read full review

Robert Lloyd

Clearly flung at the Spike's male demo–-"Get More Action" is the network tagline, which implies a viewership not getting as much as it would like--it has a slightly sour edge that some will just read as The Way Things Are. Read full review

Stuart Levine

The humor is sexist, racy and often falls flat, but when it does work, it connects in a way a male-centric audience--and that's Spike's bread and butter--will appreciate. Read full review

David Hinckley

It's not clear what this factory produces. But the show may be creating exactly the product its audience wants. Read full review

Rob Owen

It's a mixed bag of un-PC attempts at blue collar humor as four guys yak and try to avoid doing their jobs. Read full review

Ginia Bellafante

The mood of dark comedy isn’t sustained. Factory quickly devolves into a meaningless slapstick of goofy faces and a forced awkwardness that suggests the vision of someone who has watched “Curb Your Enthusiasm” over and over but has still not figured out what makes it so funny. Read full review
