Critic Reviews

Season 4 Review:
The supporting characters are written with as much attention to detail as the main characters, and the performances are just as winning, especially those of Borges and Donohue. You’re the Worst may feel like another example of snappy, snarky “new” sitcoms like “Difficult People” and “Casual,” but beneath its crisp dialogue beats the indefatigable heart of an old-fashioned romantic comedy.

Season 3 Review:
Falk’s biggest challenge is to maintain our interest level in this wackadoodle sextet and especially in Jimmy and Gretchen because these probably aren’t the kind of people you’d want to spend too much time with in real life. He does that by making them all as vulnerable as they are insufferable.

Season 2 Review:
The first two episodes of the second season are exceptionally funny. I should know; I watched them twice.... You can easily pick up in the second season and put the pieces together, fall for Falk’s searing, caustic and smart writing and the sharp interplay of the cast.

Season 2 Review:
Gretchen, Jimmy and even Lindsay aren't exactly antiheroes. They're just on the wrong side of everyday folk, constructed to enthusiastically represent the repressed dark side in all of us while simultaneously conveying their largely sound logic for supporting an unsupported worldview. The fact creator and showrunner Stephan Falk can do all this in one of television's most addictively hilarious series only makes the series all the more delectable.

Season 5 Review:
Not all of this season’s ideas are as successful. ... That’s not a fatal flaw in this kind of high-concept comedy, however, as long as the writing is imaginative and the performances snap. And 13 weeks from now, the landing is indeed stuck, in a finale that answers the questions and satisfies the emotions without short-selling the serious issues.

Season 4 Review:
Falk has made us care about the characters in a way that allows them to behave badly, even cruelly, without having the audience lose sympathy for them. You watch this hour premiere and wait eagerly to see what the heck is going to happen to Jimmy and Getchen next week.

Season 3 Review:
You're The Worst finds hilarity in Season 3 in the unstable fault lines of [Gretchen's] passionate but perversely ambivalent relationship with struggling author Jimmy. [22 Aug - 4 Sep 2016, p.17]

Season 3 Review:
Watching the show's noxious and damaged narcissists slowly, credibly get over themselves remains an entertaining, worth project. But the start of season 3 isn't You're the Worst at its best. [2 Sept 2016, p.51]

Season 5 Review:
The show has always been a delicate balancing act of cynicism and sincerity, and occasional stumbles this late into the process are inevitable. Some experiments work, like the way this week’s premiere feels like a wild detour until it becomes clear how much it has to say about Gretchen and Jimmy’s love story. (It’s the show’s best, funniest episode in quite some time.) Others don’t, like the latest spotlight on Lindsay’s outsized extended family.

Season 4 Review:
You’re the Worst has always been in danger of growing too hip or too stale. So far the series has kept changing enough to avoid that. The early episodes of season four show promise. It seems some reckoning is on the way, but it could also signal the beginning of the end.
