Season 1 Review:
On Trial & Error, the answer a little too often is to lean on the fish-out-of-water moments that Josh encounters in a town full of yokels so clichéd they might have come from a bottle in the writers' room marked Southern Stereotypes: Just Add Water. ... But it's Lithgow, as the hopelessly self-centered, sneakily endearing suspect, who steals every scene he's in.

Season 1 Review:
The series has yet to find any pairings or relationships with any real repartee or comedic chemistry, so the show is a lot of individuals elevating tired material with strong line readings, including guest stars like Bob Gunton, Cristine Rose, Ginger Gonzaga and Patricia Belcher.

Season 1 Review:
If it can shift its sights to a more demanding target, there’s potential here for a fresh and ingenious new kind of comedy. But it requires sharper writing to make murder funny than the show currently possesses. There’s more to satire than simply taking a serious subject and stuffing it full of gags.

Season 1 Review:
This deeply silly sitcom may be guilty of overplaying its hard to score cheap laughs, especially at the expense of Southern-yokel sterotypes and running gags that quickly run out of gas. But with the glorious John Lithgow at its center, [...] it's wise to recuse oneself from delivering a verdict too quickly. [6-19 Mar 2017, p.21]
