Season 1 Review:
As Ron’s investigations take him further afield—as he finds out just how high this thing goes—The Chair Company takes on a layer of increasingly surreal menace: less Office Space, more Mulholland Drive. .... The a-lotness is very much the point, and the more its steadily spiraling plot unravels, the more sense Robinson’s bug-eyed rantings start to make.

Season 1 Review:
It’s like a sketch that never ends, continually building until the pressure is almost unbearable, and when it pops, it’s a thrill. That it also manages to be a smartly made conspiracy spoof, a biting satire of corporate culture, and a heartwarming family drama is just showing off.

Season 1 Review:
Fans of I Think You Should Leave, Robinson and Kanin’s cheerfully bizarre sketch-comedy series, will find The Chair Company suitably weird. Even when the show starts to drag, as one lead after another dead-ends and new questions emerge, it’s hard to drop. What keeps The Chair Company engaging are its spurts of tangential lunacy.

Season 1 Review:
“The Chair Company” is an endurance test. If that sounds unpleasant, you may not be cut out for Robinson’s brand of comedy. But those who are familiar with and enjoy Robinson’s puckering brand of cringe are probably up for the challenge — which it is, in the best way.

Season 1 Review:
Robinson and Kanin have yet again found a great playground for Robinson’s antics to run wild, and it’s impressive how they’re able to stretch out this joke for an entire season, and have it remain just as funny throughout. The Chair Company is a strange adventure, but with Robinson at the helm, it’s one definitely worth going on.

Season 1 Review:
If you’re already on his vibe, you’ll find a lot to laugh – and scream – about in this hybrid comedy-thriller that exists at the midpoint of sitcom and extended I Think You Should Leave sketch. More than anything, it shows Robinson isn’t just a one-trick pony, and may in fact be the perfect addition to HBO’s comedy line-up alongside Danny McBride and Nathan Fielder.

Season 1 Review:
“The Chair Company,” created by Robinson and his longtime collaborator Zach Kanin, often feels like a story making itself up as it goes along. Narrative cohesion and integrity aren’t its strong suits, but I’m not sure if they’re supposed to be. It’s a chaotic show about the chaos that unfolds between our ears and out into the world we must navigate every day.
