USA TodayRobert BiancoDec 30, 2016
Season 1 Review: Add it all up, and what you actually have is a bad case of sibling envy, as Fox stretches for the kind of edgy comedy that has drawn praise and attention (if not always ratings) to sister network FX. What you don’t have is anything fresh or funny, or any particular reason to watch. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The pilot is all flimsy irreverence, pitting caricatures of entitlements and desperation against each other to meaningless effect. [30 Dec 2016 - 6 Jan 2017, p.115]

Season 1 Review: The material’s the problem. "The Mick" lumbers along instead of flies. Scenes grope for punchlines that — when or if they come — lack punch or just belly-flop. "The Mick" wants to be outrageous, but instead settles for excessive. Read full review

Season 1 Review: "The Mick" is too often simply shrill, and its occasional attempts to drag the storytelling in sentimental directions are unconvincing. Read full review
