The Guardian

We have to slog through enough grimness every day; there’s no reason you should be forced to watch it on TV too. But if you’re willing to endure for the occasional flash of brilliance, have at it.

The New York Times

After the promising first episode, Baskets wanders, becoming a sour, rambling sendup of strip-mall American life.

IndieWire

Galifianakis, Anderson and especially Kelly fill Baskets with possibility, even if it’s not exactly brimming with energy from the onset.

A.V. Club

If you’re on its level, Baskets is very, very funny, but more than that, it contains a unique, subdued beauty...

Los Angeles Times

Dark and strangely beautiful...

San Francisco Chronicle

Baskets is bold, it is courageous, but it doesn’t really work.

Salon

An absurdity that is disturbing real, funny at times, and depressing at others.

Variety

It’s almost worth watching Baskets just to see Anderson play one of the most instantly amusing and sympathetic characters on TV.

Entertainment Weekly

It’s a good mix of highbrow humour and silly, kick-in-the-pants laughs.

Hollywood Reporter

There’s no real reason to spend half an hour with Chip, much less go on his journey to nowhere.
