Season 2 Review:
Remains as charming as ever. [24 Feb/3 Mar 2017, p.90]

Season 1 Review:
he Detour‘s welcomely serialized structure reveals a rhythmic predictability by episode 2, and not all of the lines land (particularly from the kids), but this is the kind of new-age, modern sitcom that feels fresh and exciting, even despite its obvious inspirations.

Season 1 Review:
In the episodes made available to the press, it often seems that the train is about to come off the track, thanks to one twist or bit of cleverness too many, but just as often, the series rights itself at the last moment. What seems to come out of left field often connects in an unexpected fashion.

Season 2 Review:
The Detour is the kind of show that is best consumed in extended viewing. Individually, its episodes can seem slapdash and gratuitously crass. But there’s a theme beneath the ribaldry, one that may leave you pondering just how much you really know about that person sitting or sleeping next to you.

Season 1 Review:
The Detour may try too hard in places--"Why are we in Penis-ylvania?" asks the son (Liam Carroll), who, like his mother (Zea) thought the family was flying, not driving, to their Florida vacation--but the wackiness is balanced by the genuine moments its characters share.

Season 1 Review:
For a show going in as many different directions as The Detour does, the pieces of the narrative seem to be connecting well past the half-way point in the first season. The episode-to-episode continuity adds up nicely if you like your comedies heavily serialized and there are hints that some of the elements that feel disparate and chaotic could also tie together.

Season 1 Review:
The Detour is obviously not traveling a high road, but those with a taste for cheerful vulgarity will likely find it very funny. [4-17 Apr 2016, p.21]

Season 1 Review:
The family blunders its way into all sorts of awkward situations, with the two children (Ashley Gerasimovich and Liam Carroll) repeatedly being set up for psychological scars. Let this be your gauge for deciding whether to watch. ... All in all, it’s a low-aspiration enterprise.

Season 1 Review:
Since the setup feels more like a movie than a full-blown series, The Detour tries to create a more layered story by introducing an overarching plot about Nate (Jones) losing his job, stealing prototype material, and being part of a federal investigation. It’s as wackadoodle as the rest of the story, and lands just about as unevenly.
