Season 2 Review:
Whether they’re [Mavis, Khalil and Marley] throwing truth bombs, being supportive in a crisis, or just ripping one another with love (and without an ounce of mercy), their mature rapport is a big reason this season feels more assured and lived-in. .... As the series lead, Buteau continues to seamlessly channel her rockling standup persona into Mavis with finely-tuned tempering.

Season 1 Review:
Survival of the Thickest packs a lot into this season’s eight-episode run. Sometimes, that feels appropriate—the period after a big breakup certainly can feel like everything is happening all at once. But the show occasionally struggles to keep its many storylines cohesive. .... Survival of the Thickest is at its most artful when drawing attention to just how much Mavis is trying to balance. The series doesn’t need to do everything to be great—it just needs to keep Buteau’s charm at its center.

Season 1 Review:
As it is, the series’ pleasant tone goes down easily, and probably makes it ideal for binging over a glass or four of rosé. But Mavis, in the end, refuses to settle for the familiar and practical route when she could hold out for the challenging and exciting one. Her show shouldn’t settle for it either.
