Paste MagazineJacob OllerFeb 11, 2019
Season 1 Review: Rich’s roundabout way with dark punchlines, catching you on the way out the funeral home door, are just as weird and delicious as ever. Read full review

Season 4 Review: Despite only three episodes supplied for review, Miracle Workers continues with its charming, hilarious magic even the fourth time around. Read full review

ColliderRoss BonaimeJul 5, 2023
Season 4 Review: This is the most consistent and consistently hilarious season of Miracle Workers that doesn’t feel like the end times—it feels like a new beginning. Read full review

Season 4 Review: “End Times,” as if conscious of its own finality, wastes no time. Read full review

VarietyCaroline FramkeFeb 12, 2019
Season 1 Review: A surprising and very funny workplace comedy--complete with coffee runs and co-worker crushes--that happens to take place in Heaven. Read full review

The A.V. ClubDanette ChavezJan 27, 2020
Season 2 Review: What season two of this delightfully absurd anthology series proves is that there’s no need for miracles in the Dark Ages when we have each other. Read full review

USA TodayKelly LawlerFeb 11, 2019
Season 1 Review: Its short run makes Workers not a particularly Earth-shattering series. But it's a charming, chipper story that suggests humans are inevitably good. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyKristen BaldwinFeb 7, 2019
Season 1 Review: Miracle Workers is more amusing than full-fledged funny, but the show’s saving grace is its ensemble. Read full review

DeciderJoel KellerJul 10, 2023
Season 4 Review: Miracle Workers: End Times is probably the thinnest of the show’s four seasons, but the episodes are pretty quick and there’s more than enough funny stuff to help you binge through the episodes once they hit Max. Read full review

DeciderJoel KellerMar 5, 2020
Season 2 Review: Miracle Workers: Dark Ages may not have that satisfying story arc that the show’s first season has, but Viswanathan is a great lead and the characters are well-established by the end of the first episode. Read full review

SalonMelanie McFarlandJan 29, 2020
Season 2 Review: There are many more imaginative and creatively challenging comedies in circulation that offer complete escapes from the here and now. There's also a place for a nimble excursion like this, one that reminds us in the plainest and least embellished terms that yearning for a return to the way things were is at best foolhardy, and at worst risks plunging us into a time of restricted possibility, ignorance, plague and really foul air quality.

Rolling StoneAlan SepinwallFeb 12, 2019
Season 1 Review: There are enough sharp details drawn in the margins of the factory (where Angela Kinsey from The Office runs HR) to suggest a more promising second season. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesRobert LloydFeb 11, 2019
Season 1 Review: Lightweight and fluffy, energetic, easy to watch and even like, but as ephemeral as a soap bubble and perhaps less meaningful [than the novel]. Read full review

Pittsburgh Post-GazetteRob OwenFeb 11, 2019
Season 1 Review: This seven-episode limited series is both cynical (about God as CEO) and full of hope (about the potential for humanity). It’s also consistently clever and funny. Read full review

TimeJudy BermanFeb 6, 2019
Season 1 Review: You’re not likely to come out of any episode reconsidering the meaning of life, in other words. But under­lying Rich’s farce is a sharp--and bleak--analogy for the state of the world: Heaven Inc. is failing because it can’t make 7.5 billion individuals happy when their fates are so tightly entwined that one person’s godsend is sure to be another’s curse.

Colorado Springs GazetteTerry TerronesFeb 7, 2019
Season 1 Review: It isn't a gut buster. The jokes are refined and subtle, so if you like over-the-top gags and laugh tracks, this won't be the sitcom for you. Read full review

Season 1 Review: What ensues is strange, eccentric but fitfully funny. Read full review
