The Globe and Mail

God’s Favorite Idiot gets everything wrong.

Decider

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

Variety

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

The Guardian

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.

The Telegraph

I suspect this will be no one’s favourite show.

God’s Favourite Idiot only allows Melissa McCarthy to use about half her talent

God’s Favourite Idiot only allows Melissa McCarthy to use about half her talent

This comedy is unwilling to push Melissa McCarthy into where she’s best: the world of the jagged and imperfect.
