Season 1 Review: This is an amiable enough little comedy series that doesn’t use religion as a punching bag. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Living Biblically is made in such a way that it won’t offend most anyone. It also won’t make many laugh. That’s splitting the difference in all the wrong ways. The show is exhausting. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyDarren FranichFeb 20, 2018
Season 1 Review: It's a catchy concept ... But Living Biblically replaces Jacobs' playfully twisted tone with expired gags about the Jonas Brothers, Twilight, and Blockbuster Video. [23 Feb/2 Mar 2018, p.98] Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterDaniel FienbergFeb 26, 2018
Season 1 Review: It isn't really much like the A.J. Jacobs book it's allegedly based on, so don't go looking for Jacobs' quirky and obsessive look at religion and the Bible. It is, however, a mediocre-yet-well-meaning look at how religion, specifically Catholicism, can sometimes help people in times of trouble. It's less specific and pointed and more generic and well-meaning. Read full review

Season 1 Review: A few lines generate a mild chuckle, but Living Biblically mostly feels stale and unfunny--the kind of show that gives broadcast network comedies a bad name. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Ferguson is an able lead, but the sitcom’s structure forces him to do way too much narrative exposition--about the Bible, about other characters, about the essential plot of the show. Read full review
