San Francisco Chronicle

Season 6 Review: The humor is tasteless and irresistible, an unlikely mix of juvenile jokes about sex and bodily functions, with time-honored elements of screwball comedy. Read full review

Season 6 Review: Fantasy football's most entertainingly unpleasant competitors return to discover there are worse things than coming in at the bottom of the league (well, maybe). Read full review

Variety

Brian Lowry

Season 1 Review: The League comes close to the goal of creating a TV show with "The Hangover"-type appeal. Read full review

Season 3 Review: While there's no doubt that The League's third season is off to an entertaining start, the show's main problem remains that it's a comedy about friendship that lacks sympathetic and emotionally identifiable characters. Read full review

Matthew Gilbert

Season 1 Review: The raunchy comedy on The League had me laughing out loud a few times, but mostly I felt as though I’d seen it all done better before. Read full review

Season 7 Review: As The League begins to wind down, there's no clear indication that the showrunners see the less charming elements of their at least partially reprehensible characters as often as they celebrate their minor, shallow victories. Read full review

Kansas City Star

Aaron Barnhart

Season 1 Review: If I tell you that The League is a reprehensible show, I’m not really telling you that much. The new improvised-comedy series airing at 9:30 tonight on FX wears its reprehensibility with pride. Read full review
