"Like a comedy club roster overstuffed with comics of varying skills and styles, the docuseries never settles into the groove of a single tour de force set. The stories are great. ... But The Comedy Store never finds a way to tie all these individuals and their stories into a cohesive portrait. ... Binder’s undeniably watchable series sets out to craft monuments to a place and a woman he reveres equally."
