Slashfilm Ethan Anderton

Jan 11, 2024

Overall, "Ted" is a hilarious expansion of Seth MacFarlane's ribald comedy franchise. In fact, even though the bar has never been set consistently high in this department, "Ted" just might be one of the best TV adaptations of a movie that's ever been done. Read full review

"Ted” hews toward a ‘90s comedic sensibility that’s not merely nostalgic but seeks to tap into the inner teenager that some of us never entirely outgrow. That might not qualify as high art, but in its unpretentious silliness, this Peacock comedy is still more than bear-able. Read full review

Sadly, the sheer coarseness of the humour knocks the stuffing out of Ted and makes it a missed opportunity. Read full review

The seven-episode Peacock miniseries is the ultimate "Now That's What I Call MacFarlane" mixtape cassette of all his familiar sitcom-styled bits recycled in another '90s nostalgia fest package of wavering quality. Read full review

Every so often, one of MacFarlane’s extended runners will click, or Ted’s sheer enthusiasm for a stupid idea proves infectious. But any chuckles brought out by the series feel like the kind of comedy you come up with out of sheer boredom. Read full review

The Guardian Lucy Mangan

Feb 9, 2024

Along with the underbaked writing, it just adds to the suspicion that fear of criticism is at last occasionally getting the better of him – so we go round in puerile circles, with ever-diminishing satisfaction. A great disappointment. Read full review

The Telegraph Anita Singh

Feb 9, 2024

Ted sets the scene in an introductory voice-over, saying that he was once a media sensation but “like every phenomenon, eventually nobody gives a s--t”. Which is exactly how you should feel about this series. Read full review
