Critic Reviews

Season 1 Review:
One moment, it seems eager to address the culture shock of a fish returned to changed waters; the next, it shies away from trafficking in the clichés that a critique of twenty-first-century Kings County may necessitate. Plots with the potential to flower into journeys instead wither into mere capers; intriguing possibilities open doors that are simply left ajar.

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.

Season 1 Review:
Even when the show is disappointing, it somehow remains likable. It could be better; it isn't bad. As the story of an indomitable person coming back to a changed world, it has some of the attitude, and the sunniness, of "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt." Lines may fall flat, but there is enough chemistry among the players — the stars, the guests and the regulars, notably including Allen Maldonado ("black-ish") as Tray's intensely cheerful young cousin Bobby--to keep The Last O.G decent, indecent company.

Season 1 Review:
There seem to be two different shows competing for space in the six episodes provided for review. One is a laid-back, affecting comedy about second chances; the other is a clunky mishmash of broad gags. You can see this in the pilot. It’s rough, but it contains the makings of better things.

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]

Season 1 Review:
It's an interesting comedy, and one prepared to take a few big swings. It just isn't especially funny or consistent, and this isn't a "Oh, we're going for arty over humorous" FX or Amazon-style comedy. It wants to be broad and riotous without real success, only to find its value someplace more somber.

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.
