    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.

    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]

    No story, or joke, goes as far as it needs to in order to really extract the necessary laughs. The FX version of this could be a scream; the Fox version feels watered down and largely forgettable.

    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.

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