-
The chemistry between the three men and Lavin ultimately defines what makes this series pop, even if the format feels like a bygone era of television.
-
The series is a mostly delightful comedy that blends the wit of their groundbreaking sitcom with the charm of “The Golden Girls.”
-
[Emphasis is] on the jokes, character development and performances, as well as maintaining a degree of informality that adds intimacy to the comedy. While “Mid-Century Modern” doesn’t always feel like a fully polished product, that may be exactly what everyone is after.
-
Altogether, Mid-Century Modern is an island of charm floating in a tumultuous sea, anchored by top-notch comedy work and strong chemistry between Lane, Bomer, and Graham.
-
[Linda Lavin was] unfailingly funny in a series that if not itself unfailingly funny, is as funny as one might reasonably expect.
-
“Mid-Century Modern” offers a mix of comedic zingers and groan-worthy gags that stars Matt Bomer, Nathan Lane, Nathan Lee Graham and Linda Lavin do their best to elevate.
-
The show keeps getting in its own way, mostly because the characters lack distinct personalities.
