    It's corny, pulpy, a bit campy, and has terrible dialogue, but oh boy it's so much fun to watch. A binge-worthy guilty pleasure for me.

    This show is cheesy, implausible and inconsequential. And waaaay too addictive. Renee elevates it any moment she is on screen.

    Great! Had all of the elements of a show that make it great: suspense, romance, and a great cast to make all that much more dramatic! I loved it! Glad Mike Kelley came back and is making more material, because I was craving some Revenge!

    They make reference to it in the show, but this is a blatant rip-off of Indecent Proposal - but with far less heat. I've only seen the first episode. How the hell does this have 10 episodes?

    Awful plot and script. A complete waste of my time. They took a 4 episode (or movie) plot and turned it into an excruciating and meaningless experience. PLEASE DO NOT WATCH

    Even Renee Zellwegger can't save this awful series. It works for the first couple of episodes but then quickly turns ridiculous.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Absolutely horrible, not recommended. The appearences of Renee are the best of this series, and even she is the star the show is dull, predictable, and sometimes non-sensical. Run away, there are better options.… Expand

    What/If has its longueurs and Levy and Jenner’s lack of chemistry lands like a dead fish. But it roars to life whenever Zellweger is on screen. Tossing her hair and crinkling her eyes, she’s a baroque riot. Her performance alone makes What /If a contender for guilty pleasure of the year.

    What/If has just enough emotional truth mixed in with the absurdity to stop it spiralling into absolute madness.

    What/If basically rips off Indecent Proposal and then admits to doing so, as if that's a clever thing. The series stars a miscast Renée Zellweger as Anne Montgomery. ... [The episodes] are larded with bad writing, dubious editing choices and the kind of weightless fluff that props up most network soap operas.
