Vanity FairRichard LawsonApr 2, 2018
Season 1 Review: Blunt and funny and heartwarming, a perfectly calibrated mix of bawdy silliness and sincere feeling. And Morgan is excellent on it, revealing range and nuance he’s not had the chance to show us before. Read full review

Uncle BarkyEd BarkApr 3, 2018
Season 1 Review: What stands out is the letter-perfect ensemble casting, Morgan’s ability to perform as more than a caricature and the comfy fit of Tray’s adventures and misadventures. Read full review

IndieWireBen TraversMar 12, 2018
Season 1 Review: Very good yet not yet great, the rest of the series gets a lot right early on without making a move to the top tier of television. That may nag at some who come in with ultra-high expectations, but Haddish and Morgan are marvelous, and The Last O.G. could easily coast for six seasons on their charm alone. Read full review

Season 2 Review: “A second chance is a beautiful thing.” So it goes with this sweeter, better batch of new half hours that are well-worth our time. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleDavid WiegandMar 30, 2018
Season 1 Review: There are rough spots here and there in The Last O.G., but they are easily smoothed over, especially by the show’s excellent core cast. You’ll find yourself hoping the O.G. lasts. Read full review

NewsdayVerne GayMar 30, 2018
Season 1 Review: The Last O.G. can’t help being a little sad because Morgan is a little sad, and it can’t help being a little funny because Morgan is Morgan. He so much as breathes and you laugh. Read full review

Pittsburgh Post-GazetteRob OwenMar 29, 2018
Season 1 Review: While it isn’t as culturally significant as, say, Mr. Peele’s “Get Out,” “The Last O.G.” is genuinely funny and transfers Mr. Morgan’s skills from co-star to lead far more successfully than his short-lived NBC 2003-04 sitcom, “The Tracy Morgan Show,” ever did. Read full review

SalonMelanie McFarlandApr 3, 2018
Season 1 Review: The Last O.G. brims with such thoughtful notes, even if it takes a few episodes to settle into its soul and embrace what it aspires to be. It looks like a straightforward comedy, and the fact that is it not as broad and more restrained than what viewers may have been expecting, could work against it. But if nothing else, it’s a sanguine look at all the ways life changes us and the world around us. Read full review

New York Magazine (Vulture)Jen ChaneyApr 3, 2018
Season 1 Review: The best moments in The Last O.G. are when Morgan and Haddish hold a scene together and let their characters’ frustrations and passions fly. They have great chemistry, and you believe instantly that they have a shared history of getting into all kinds of messes. Read full review

Boston GlobeMatthew GilbertApr 2, 2018
Season 1 Review: Each of the six episodes available for review was balanced effectively between humor and honest emotion, with Morgan a more mature presence than you might expect. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineMatt RoushMar 29, 2018
Season 1 Review: For all of its broad fish-out-of-Brooklyn slapstick, this is awfully sweet. ... Morgan is a joy. Welcome back! [2 Apr - 15 Apr 2018, p.11]
