The Hollywood ReporterTim GoodmanOct 3, 2013
Season 1 Review: As much as I don't like it, I pretty much love the whole cast. Read full review

New York Magazine (Vulture)Matt Zoller SeitzOct 3, 2013
Season 1 Review: Series creator Greg Garcia has been responsible for some truly special TV comedies, including My Name Is Earl and Raising Hope. This isn't one of them. Read full review

Boston GlobeMatthew GilbertOct 3, 2013
Season 1 Review: The first half-hour of The Millers is so banal, it’s just sad. There’s no promise lurking anywhere in the setup, nothing that could get better and become more central as the writers find the show’s voice. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesMary McNamaraOct 3, 2013
Season 1 Review: Beau Bridges and Margo Martindale are the ones yelling and making sex jokes while Will Arnett looks on in (justified) horror, which may move The Millers out of "unfortunate" into "unforgivable." Read full review

New York Daily NewsDavid HinckleyOct 3, 2013
Season 1 Review: The show gets some credit for acting, because the veteran cast members have good comic timing and coax the most out of their lines. Trouble is, that’s like coaxing maximum flavor from a bowl of lawn clippings. Read full review

The Huffington PostMaureen RyanSep 19, 2013
Season 1 Review: The only thing I can think about when I watch the Millers is that Margo Martindale deserves so much better than this, and I wish she was free of this show's hackneyed, overly broad "humor." Read full review

Wall Street JournalDorothy RabinowitzOct 3, 2013
Season 1 Review: The question is, who's laughing? Worth asking along with the aforementioned curiosity about what the programmers were thinking, not only about this mother but all the rest of this unutterably mirthless enterprise--the dim-witted father (Beau Bridges), too stupid to use a telephone properly, included.
