Critic Reviews

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.
