The A.V. ClubDennis PerkinsAug 4, 2015
Season 1 Review: There’s hardly a line from Mr. Robinson’s six-episode run that doesn’t provoke cringing rather than laughs, with Robinson himself left to inject a little of his comic personality where he can. Read full review

Washington PostHank StueverAug 4, 2015
Season 1 Review: This is one of those shows with some promise in some of the characters--and even potential chuckles at the better, weirder jokes--but so clearly emits the sad stench of yet another comedy that that’s been cooked too long in a network oven. Read full review

The New York TimesNeil GenzlingerAug 4, 2015
Season 1 Review: Incompetence, of course, can be funny, but only if served with some originality. Nothing about Mr. Robinson is fresh or imaginative. Even Mr. Robinson, who has said the show is based on his life, looks bored. Read full review
