Season 1 Review:
There are moments when “The Full Monty” veers a little too close to schmaltz, but it never succumbs. It’s a bittersweet look at the British working class, elevated by a charismatic cast and a tone that, even amid the personal pain and systemic failures, is tinged with optimism.

Season 1 Review:
On paper, it’s a good idea—and there are moments when it delivers on that potential. Yet the overall randomness and dearth of joy in this Full Monty, whose full season arrives June 14 on Hulu, make it a puzzling follow-up to a film that charmed millions with its lighthearted social commentary.

Season 1 Review:
Stream it, but only because all of the characters from The Full Monty that you loved in the ’90s are back and as quirky as ever in the new series. But, just like the dog that got kidnapped in the first episode, the show is a bit shaggy and aimless, which may make your goodwill for these characters wane after a few episodes.

Season 1 Review:
Despite a few mildly funny escapades, the best efforts of that most-welcome returning cast and some crisp and insightful writing from original “Full Monty” scribe and co-writer Alice Nutter, “The Full Monty” is on balance a dark and gloomy slog that has us wondering if we might have been better off just imagining how these characters’ lives were going to turn out, rather than seeing the often depressing “reality.”

Season 1 Review:
Pursuing a similar route with “The Full Monty” – a synergistic exercise, incidentally, coming from one of Disney’s production units and premiering via Hulu – might have sounded good in theory. Yet stripped down to its pretty-bare merits as a viewing proposition, it doesn’t offer much incentive to leave your set on.
