About
"Savage film satire with an unexpectedly tender family core"
The Critic follows Jay Sherman, a perpetually unimpressed New York film critic who tears apart terrible movies on his own TV segment while juggling a chaotic personal life involving his wealthy adoptive family and an ex-wife. The show moves fast, packing in dense parody of Hollywood tropes and specific films alongside surprisingly sincere family drama. It is sharp, cynical, and joke-dense in the style of its Simpsons-adjacent creators, with a lot of heart buried under the sarcasm. Best enjoyed by viewers who like their animated comedy quick, referential, and a little melancholy underneath the wit.
the relentless movie-parody gags paired with Jon Lovitz's perfectly sour comic timing.
you find nonstop pop-culture and film-parody jokes exhausting rather than delightful.
