The Mercury News Randy Myers

“Mr. Throwback” isn’t always smooth, and gets off to a bit of an awkward start in the first episode, but turns into an irreverent meta comedy that scores more three-pointers than bricks. Read full review

“Mr. Throwback” might not have the potential for a Hall of Fame run a la “The Office,” but it’s a quirky and cleverly offbeat entry in the mockumentary genre. Read full review

While Mr. Throwback falls short of those classics [The Office & Parks and Recreation], it is a warm, resonant, and funny show. Read full review

We’re meant on some level to feel for him [Danny] — in a way, say, that we are not meant to feel for Larry David’s characters — he’s so consistently disappointing that one counts the minutes until the series decides it’s time for a change. In the final period, it drives hard toward a happy ending — or endings — which you may find contrived, or moving. Or even both. Read full review

Tonally, “Mr. Throwback” is aiming for something like “Entourage” but with sports, mashed up with a boastful but decent-hearted loser typically dreamed up by Danny McBride (“Eastbound and Down,” “The Righteous Gemstones”) but the show never finds its voice or point of view. Read full review

I liked elements of Mr. Throwback and, it must be said, Steph Curry is pretty good. But the material does not come together as a good show. Read full review

The Daily Beast Jesse Hassenger

Aug 8, 2024

Neither Wain’s comic chops behind the camera nor the rest of the talent behind this mockumentary sitcom can mitigate the feeling that Mr. Throwback is hybridizing two distinctly different forms, in a way that’s sometimes more distracting than innovative. Read full review
