If the hospital staff is desensitized to basic human dignity, the show makes sure its audience never is. [14/21 Nov 2014, p.100] Read full review

The best comedy you're not watching.... Laurie Metcalf ("Roseanne"), Alex Borstein ("Family Guy") and Niecy Nash ("Reno 911") simply kill it as an ensemble, doing justice to the sharp writing of Mark V. Olsen and Will Scheffer. Read full review

Getting On comes back in a mode so low-key that the show feels inconsequential, setting up a season of diminishing returns. But by the third episode, things really start to click again. Read full review

It slips into a world you probably never knew (or cared about) and finds a way to make you utterly invested. Read full review

This is farce with a heart, shot through with unlikely moments of grace and warmed by an aura of bemused acceptance. Read full review

My new favorite show on TV. Loved the first season and the season two premiere confirmed my love for it. Well acted and superbly written, it'll make you laugh and cry at the same time, which is super hard to do. Can't wait to watch the rest.

A rare show that manages to succeed in making you laugh hysterically and contemplate the harsh reality of life at the same time. The premiere episode of Season two Getting On doesn't miss a beat and continues to deliver the goods.
