New York Magazine (Vulture)Matt Zoller SeitzAug 14, 2012
Season 2 Review: Wilfred is much more pleasant and consistently enjoyable than Falling Skies, but that might be because the stakes are much lower. Read full review

Slant MagazineMike LechevallierJun 28, 2012
Season 2 Review: The strain that comes with continuing to care about Ryan's sad-sack existence, one that's a direct result of his own insecurities and poor decisions, vastly outweighs the amusement packed away within the incidental laughs the series intermittently provides. Read full review

Boston HeraldMark A. PerigardJun 23, 2011
Season 1 Review: By the end of the third episode, I was tired of all the sodomy jokes. Wood is an appealing comedic lead, but he's working off scraps. Be charitable and chalk up Gann's appeal to cultural differences. Read full review

The Huffington PostMaureen RyanJun 21, 2012
Season 2 Review: On paper, it all appears to be functional. In reality, I find myself uninterested in Ryan's minuscule problems and Wilfred's repeated attempts to hector or nag Ryan into taking more chances with his narrow little life. Read full review

Season 1 Review: While Wilfred will doubtless find cultish admirers, after previewing three episodes, the size of its pack should be limited. Read full review

New York Daily NewsDavid HinckleyJun 23, 2011
Season 1 Review: So it may develop a cult following, and whether it does or not, FX deserves continuing credit for trying different approaches to traditional TV shows. Too often, though, Wilfred makes us work a little too hard for the payout. Read full review

The New York TimesMike HaleJun 22, 2011
Season 1 Review: Wilfred tries for a coarse sophistication that locates it somewhere between HBO's winsome "Flight of the Conchords" and FX's brutally honest "Louie" (which begins its second season on Thursday night). But it ends up muffled and not very funny. Read full review
