Chicago TribuneNina MetzJul 6, 2022
Season 1 Review: When comparing the two, “Maggie” is superior in look and execution [to “How I Met Your Father”. ... And it’s biggest strength is that it’s not only the story of Maggie and Ben, but a true ensemble comedy. Read full review

Season 1 Review: “Maggie” distinguishes itself from many of its predecessors by having no laugh track and actually being funny. Read full review

The A.V. ClubMary Kate CarrJul 5, 2022
Season 1 Review: It’s often sweet, frequently quite funny, and occasionally has something interesting to say about how always looking to the future will have real consequences in the present. There’s enough here, in other words, to keep us excited about the future of Maggie. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterAngie HanJul 5, 2022
Season 1 Review: Maggie‘s amiable tone lands closer to likable than irresistible. To put it in terms its looking-for-love heroine might understand: This series is a nice summer fling, not a once-in-a-lifetime love. ... Maggie proves most interesting when it’s not focused on love at all, or at least not the romantic kind. Its richest and most rewarding relationship is the one between Maggie and her childhood BFF, Lou. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Maggie is more cute than funny, but if Hulu gives it space to develop a vision, this show could have a future. Read full review

DeciderJoel KellerJul 6, 2022
Season 1 Review: The jokes are more quippy asides than things that are borne out of character. Some of them hit, but most miss. In fact, almost the entire first episode felt like a lame attempt at replicating the HIMYM formula, save any memorable characters. Read full review

VarietyDaniel D'AddarioJul 5, 2022
Season 1 Review: Rittenhouse endlessly plays straight woman. ... Maggie’s friends are fairly anonymous sketches who fail to come to life; similarly, her father (Chris Elliott, strangely underplaying the role) seems to be sleepwalking through her life. ... There’s neither the ironic backspin that can elevate a terrible joke nor an earnest commitment to really be about what the show purports to be about. Read full review
