Features some smart, if uneven, writing. There are several laugh-out-loud lines. There also are some roll-your-eyes situations.
June 13, 2019
Though the show lacks the inspired cohesiveness of classic sitcoms like Cheers or Seinfeld, it is bright, brisk and well-played.
June 13, 2019
The producers say they wanted to create a series about a "quirky, engaging, flawed and honest" woman. They've succeeded on that count, as well as serving up some of the most sophisticated dialogue in prime time.
June 13, 2019
Lea Thompson turns in a winning perf as cartoonist Caroline in this sophisticated yet loopy sitcom.
June 13, 2019
Another attempt at replicating the success of Friends and Seinfeld that fell far short of the mark.
June 13, 2019
That post-Seinfeld slot sets high standards, and Lea Thompson's Caroline is no Elaine.
June 13, 2019
With his wit and cutting one-liners, Malcom Getz's performance as Richard often steals the show, but it's Thompson's Caroline that leaves a lasting impression.
June 13, 2019
Caroline in the City has enough strengths to grow and prosper in such a great time slot. Lovely Lea should win many fans. But it would help if Del could be drawn out of the picture.
June 13, 2019
The Gets character almost walks off with the show with a combination of biting sarcasm and underlying loneliness. And, of course, there are pop-culture references to spare.
June 13, 2019
What Caroline doesn't have, initially, is a script that's either credible or humorous.
June 13, 2019
Caroline lacks the quirkiness and edge of its fellow NBC sitcoms. It also depends on the sort of hoary comedy devices that have made decades of TV sitcoms embarrassing to watch.
June 13, 2019
It just leads to borderline fun. But Thompson has the blithe manner to push things over the borderline, to take so-so material and make it sparkle.
