If you ever longed for the Roadrunner to be turned into Purina Coyote Chow or those little Family Circus kids to be sold to a Honduran sweatshop, The Mick might be for you. Read full review

Olson does a great job as the title character, willing to go for anything if it lands a laugh. (Most times it does.) Read full review

You may not laugh until it hurts, but there are some laughs to be had. Particularly for those who also swear by Family Guy. Read full review

It’s just an okay sitcom with a frequently charming performance by Olson, which may be enough for a while, wedged in between New Girl and Bones. But it also seems like the kind of project that could leave Olson feeling trapped. Read full review

For some, Olson’s immense comedic talents and the show’s rude humor may be enough of a diversion to stick with The Mick, but if you want to see Olson give a similarly great performance on a much better written show, go back to It’s Always Sunny. She deserved a starring vehicle, but this one let her down. Read full review

Without the freedom in language, tone and general obnoxiousness that FXX gives "Sunny," the over-the-top situations in "The Mick" are less likely to make you laugh than to make you feel vaguely uncomfortable. Read full review

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

One of the funniest shows I've ever seen it is so wild and outrageous. I can't understand how it got canceled?? I hope Netflix or Hulu is smart enough to pick it up.

OK let's start by saying that I know I may not be the target audience here but aside from that I loved the first episode of the show plenty of laugh out loud moments to be had here it's sweet charming and funny doesn't try to be anything more or less than what it is and no Mackenzie isn't aOK let's start by saying that I know I may not be the target audience here but aside from that I loved the first episode of the show plenty of laugh out loud moments to be had here it's sweet charming and funny doesn't try to be anything more or less than what it is and no Mackenzie isn't a role model parent but that's the whole point in good time she is going to learn from her mistakes as she makes them she is sweet and funny though I suggest watching this it's loads of fun and it's super funny… Expand

Kaitlin Olson manages to bring her charisma from "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" and incorporate it a new silly storyline. It's not amazing but it fulfills its purpose.

I thought it had some good laughs. Nothing mind-blowing, but decent. In my opinion Kaitlin Olson is basically playing a similar character to Sweet Dee from Sunny, and if you like her in that, you'll probably like her in this.

I love Kaitlin Olson from her work with Always Sunny . Sadly this seems to be aiming slightly more at the mainstream audience and has lost almost all humour which i actually find funny.

I also don't like the 'family' setting which i guess is just my personal preference, I don't really enjoy watching a disfunctional group of young kids misbehave (ok except I like The Simpsons and Family Guy at least!). This show has provided me with a handful of giggles and so I will continue to watch as that is better than half of the so called sitcoms about today, but I simply can't wait for the new season of Always Sunny In Philidelphia to wash the taste of this out of my mouth !… Expand
