Season 1 Review:
Allen and Dennings do quickly strike a satisfying mix of antagonism and affection. Both know their way around a filmed-before-a-live-audience sitcom. .... The second episode — only two were available to watch — feels less focused. That there is nothing new to see here is not in the series’ disfavor. .... Formulas are formulas because they give consistent, reliable, unsurprising results.

Season 1 Review:
This early in the run of a multi-cam sitcom, a lack of chemistry is understandable, as are redundant exposition dumps meant to help the traditional TV audience keep up with what’s happening across 22 fleeting minutes of story. But it’s less tolerable not to finish those stories, instead tacking on a feel-good moment completely disconnected from the episode’s central issue, and these emotional gulfs are made all the more obvious when the jokes around them are this lazy and poorly delivered.

Season 1 Review:
The show is not merely unfunny; it features punchlines that should embarrass anyone who’s ever had a quick scroll of Facebook. .... The only surprises Shifting Gears can offer early on are a few non-comic moments where Allen and Dennings inhabit the genuine moments of dumbstruck grief they feel over losing a wife and mother, respectively.
