Consistently funny pilot. Read full review

“Perfect Harmony,” NBC’s new comedy about a scrappy church choir entering the competitive circuit, acquits itself pretty well by the end of its first episode — especially because it somehow speeds through enough plot to fuel an entire season of “Glee” (the most obvious reference point for “Perfect Harmony”).

There isn’t as much cohesion in the broader group. Arthur’s reasons for sticking around the town, not to mention the town’s unquestioning acceptance of him, remain unclear by the end of the pilot. If Perfect Harmony really wants to follow in the footsteps of The Good Place or even Will & Grace, it needs to find the beat—and quickly. Read full review

The pilot coasts along on the performers’ likability, but they could use some new notes. Read full review

A show with an engaging ensemble but a bit too many clichés and flat jokes in the premiere. Read full review

What probably would have been a 100-minute feature film becomes a confusingly gutted 21-minute pilot in which every plot machination is unmotivated, every character shift illogical and every attempted emotional moment unearned. ... Camp does her bubbly best and gets the bulk of the first episode's secondary story, complemented by by Segers' deep-voiced innocence. Read full review

Judy Berman

Sep 23, 2019

It’s a silly premise, the characters look to be pretty flat and a climactic mashup of Handel’s “Hallelujah” chorus and “Eye of the Tiger” nearly made this woman lose her will to survive. Worst of all is the shamelessness of the Pitch Perfect mimicry. Read full review

Seems like a worthwhile attempt at something at least a little bit out of the sitcom mould. Like having some music thrown in. A small town version of Glee?

Basically the Grinch meets Andy of Mayberry (except Andy is the waitress in this plot). Supporting characters are shallow,Seems like a worthwhile attempt at something at least a little bit out of the sitcom mould. Like having some music thrown in. A small town version of Glee?

Basically the Grinch meets Andy of Mayberry (except Andy is the waitress in this plot). Supporting characters are shallow, stereotypical and in need of serious development to make this show last past season one. Same for the scripts. Not the worst, but nowhere close to the quality of classic timeless sitcoms.

Will be a surprise if this gets renewed.… Expand

The stereotype humor of Perfect Harmony -- rich elitist Yankee professor looking down on "uneducated" southern Appalachian blue collar workers -- was funny for about two episodes. Then it turned grating as it became apparent that's the only humor the writers have to offer AND it's theThe stereotype humor of Perfect Harmony -- rich elitist Yankee professor looking down on "uneducated" southern Appalachian blue collar workers -- was funny for about two episodes. Then it turned grating as it became apparent that's the only humor the writers have to offer AND it's the foundation for every other element of the show.

I gave the show four but I'm checking out. It's a one trick pony that has nothing of lasting value to offer. It's little more than typical Hollywood-bubble writers continuing to denigrate rural/southern people through extreme and outlandish stereotypes just to get a few laughs.

But at least they cast the right person to play the elitist, holier-than-thou Yankee professor type. Bradley Whitford is practically typecast in the role (follow him on Twitter and see for yourself).… Expand
