The Other Two is so smart and so funny about celebrity, success, family, pop culture, relationships, and the various kingdoms of Andy Cohen’s reality-show empire. It’s a star-making vehicle for Heléne Yorke and Drew Tarver. ... The Other Two is TV’s first can’t-miss comedy of 2019. Read full review

The Other ensemble is across-the-board excellent. ... With its blend of biting showbiz commentary and earned emotional moments, The Other Two is a goofy gem, a modern-day fable about the healing power of other people’s fame. Read full review

While the premise is plenty clever, it's the writing -- courtesy of former "SNL" head writers Chris Kelly and Sarah Schneider, who created the show -- that consistently generates laughs, from the title of Chase's hit song ("I Want to Marry You at Recess") to a red-carpet line interviewer who earnestly follows up the question "Boxers or briefs?" with "Israel or Palestine?"

No reservations, just a ringing endorsement for Comedy Central’s The Other Two, a smart half-hour comedy. Read full review

The Other Two doesn’t actually make many mistakes in its short and delightful first season, as it holds a mirror up to our celebrity-saturated culture while also making us admit that sometimes we deride it only because we aren’t a part of it. Read full review

A raunchy comedy of soul-degrading envy and desperation, with an unexpectedly sweet core. [4-17 Feb 2019, p.13]

Michael Haigis

[In] fleeting moments, the series reveals qualities in Brooke and Cary which amount to more than mere generational punchlines. Mostly, though, The Other Two is determined to define the siblings by their age bracket, and amounts to yet another portrait of underachieving, navel-gazing ‘80s babies. Read full review

I was not expecting to like this show but the premise is so well thought out and the idea of being siblings of a beiberesque superstar is an interesting way to represent disappointment through millennials.

It's a surprise.

This show succeeds where the show Nobodies failed. The writing is quite good. The actors work excellently in their characters. Oh so well.

The writers have captured something elusive here. The bonding among the three siblings is strong, and is a strong part of the show.

And its funny. Real humor.… Expand

While I like the show - inconsistent tone and, frankly speaking, Ken Marino's overly hammy performance, in my opinion, and the main kid actor‘s (again my opinion) lackluster performance prevent the idea and interesting premise from being fully realized.

All the ingredients are here but they don't seem to gel as well as other comedies. Maybe it will find it’s groove.… Expand
