Critic Reviews

Barry Garron

Hip in tone but traditional in spirit, it's not at all hard to feel welcome at the Captain. Read full review

Nancy DeWolf Smith

If Welcome to the Captain can sustain its tone of tender quirkiness, it may find an appreciate audience stretching from those who loved "Arrested Development" to fans of "My Name Is Earl." Read full review

Maureen Ryan

Welcome to the Captain attempts a similarly shaggy, loose sitcom vibe, but isn't quite successful, though it's at least watchable. Read full review

Tom Shales

The characters are refreshingly non-hostile and converse in something other than brittle, cold sitcom-speak.

David Hinckley

The Captain [is] a historic hotel now populated by every Hollywood stereotype ever dusted off for a sitcom pilot. Read full review

Rob Owen

Another single-camera comedy that fails to provide any laughs. Read full review

I bought a season pass on Itunes for it and I think if anything they should at least finish the first season.… Expand
