Season 1 Review: [Casey Wilson and Ken] Marino have established a nice chemistry by the end of the pilot, which gives me hope for a show whose premise appeared limiting. Read full review

PopMattersMarisa LaScalaOct 13, 2014
Season 1 Review: It’s a credit to Caspe and Marry Me’s other creators that the series premiere introduces all of these characters and their relationships seamlessly, without clunky, expositional dialogue about how they all met. Read full review

The Huffington PostMaureen RyanSep 30, 2014
Season 1 Review: The pilot is high-strung but basically acceptable, and I'll keep watching in the well-founded hopes that it will find consistently entertaining groove and use its fine cast (which includes Tim Meadows and Dan Bucatinsky as Annie's dads) as well as "Happy Endings" used its fab ensemble.

New York PostRobert RorkeOct 14, 2014
Season 1 Review: Television has a rich tradition of wacky wife/reasonable husband comedies, from “I Love Lucy” to more contemporary examples such as “Will & Grace” (a platonic rom-com) “Dharma & Greg” to the relationship between Gloria (Sofia Vergara) and Jay (Ed O’Neill) on “Modern Family.” Sorry to say, Marry Me is not yet in this company.

Season 1 Review: Wilson and Marino are a winning duo, but I'm not sure Annie and Jake's turbulent relationship is enough to sustain a show that lacks distinction in its supporting cast. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Despite some funny bits and solid supporting players--including JoBeth Williams, a recurring character as Jake’s disapproving mom--the writing also works a bit too hard at times. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleDavid WiegandOct 9, 2014
Season 1 Review: In some ways, the show is a throwback to the days of wacky female sitcom stars with a lot of physical humor. What’s lacking is charm and lovability. Read full review

New York Magazine (Vulture)Matt Zoller SeitzOct 14, 2014
Season 1 Review: [Marry Me is] just too much an embodiment of the sitcom usual, and the gender-stereotypes usual, and the network-creativity usual. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Unfortunately, the show seems to be slightly less than a sum of its parts. Read full review
