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

    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?

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

    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.
