Season 1 Review: Occasionally funny but mostly sort of dull, “The Moodys” seems unlikely to become a Christmas classic. Read full review

Season 1 Review: If the presentation feels like a bit of an experiment, the content -- adapted from an Australian show -- is too familiar to be much more than ho-ho-hum. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Never quite as madcap as it wants to be. ... The nicest surprise is Denis Leary's low-key and slow-burn performance. [9-22 Dec 2019, p.13]

Season 1 Review: All six episodes function more like a strange experiment in accentuating a project’s flaws, despite a solid cast and writers who know how to work with said cast. Read full review
