The Hollywood ReporterTim GoodmanJul 17, 2014
Season 1 Review: The Married pilot is forced, mostly unfunny and tragic in that you immediately want to root for Faxon and Greer, two very funny and very likable comic actors, to have better material. Read full review

HitfixAlan SepinwallJul 17, 2014
Season 1 Review: The whole thing is every bit as joyless, airless and uncomfortable as the marriage it's depicting--a show filled with miserable, unlikeable characters that doesn't provide them with writing remotely sharp enough to compensate. Read full review

Boston GlobeMatthew GilbertJul 16, 2014
Season 1 Review: The material is wooden, lacking the kind of deft writing that would push the premise beyond sitcom cliché and make the characters more engaging. Show creator Andrew Gurland tries to add some racy fun with a few super quirky supporting players, but they only feel tacked on and forced. Read full review

Denver PostJoanne OstrowJul 15, 2014
Season 1 Review: The first time I watched the pilot episode of FX’s Married, I found it to be crass, sad and pessimistic, a not-funny comedy about the tribulations of marriage. The second time I watched, just to make sure, I found it less appealing. Read full review

USA TodayRobert BiancoJul 16, 2014
Season 1 Review: Its misogyny is appalling even for an industry in which male-driven stupidity is often a given. Were it funny, that might have helped, but really, it's the ugly, angry undertone that truly hurts. Read full review

Season 1 Review: So far this is a dour, sour affair replete with uninviting characters. That’s generally not a good recipe for return visits. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineMatt RoushJul 17, 2014
Season 1 Review: A grisly wallow in domestic dysfunction that reaches for indie-film cred but collapses under a toxic barrage of bleak vignettes of gamy misery. Read full review
