Critic Reviews

John Maynard

Nov 30, 2019

Season 1 Review: The end result is a hilarious spoof of the popular lifeguard series, following in the footsteps of the short-lived "Police Squad," which so brilliantly mocked cop dramas. Read full review

Diane Werts

Season 1 Review: It’s not deep. It’s not classy. It’s not subtle. It’s not even original. It’s just really, really fun. You’ve gotta be in the mood, but if you are, FX’s new spoof Son of the Beach is one rip-roaring way to spend a half-hour. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The exact TV equivalent of a good MAD magazine spoof... Read full review

Season 1 Review: But so help me (and I'm not proud of this) Son of the Beach made me laugh. Out loud. Several times. I may not respect myself in the morning, but I'm having a good time tonight. [14 March 2000, p.35]

Robert P. Laurence

Dec 1, 2019

Season 1 Review: Son of the Beach is sophomoric, off-color, tasteless, obvious, sexist and offensive to several races. It's also fairly funny, a cheeky, sunny, goofy, low-budget "Police Squad!" version of "Baywatch" produced by that nasty-talking proponent and arbiter of everything tacky in American mass media, Howard Stern. [14 March 2000, p.E8]

David Kronke

Dec 1, 2019

Season 1 Review: For fans of amply endowed eye candy and anatomy-centered gags of the PG-13 variety, it's Nirvana. [14 March 2000]

Phil Gallo

Nov 30, 2019

Season 1 Review: This is too far over the top, and even fans of FX's "The X Show" will find it wearisome after a few weeks. How often can you laugh at a dog humping a woman's leg? Read full review
