"God’s Favorite Idiot gets everything wrong."

—

The Globe and Mail

"We’re still not sure if God’s Favorite Idiot will right itself or just become a train wreck."

—

Decider

"A low point for (McCarthy and Falcone)..."

—

Variety

"It’s broad-brush stuff for the most part... But Falcone and McCarthy are great to watch, and the central relationship between their alter egos gives the whole thing enough charm, warmth and heart to get by."
