Work in Progress: Season 1

"One of the most honest and funny shows we've seen all year."

"Happily enough, Work In Progress doesn't sand off Abby's edges to make her more palatable, nor does it leave her sitting on the sidelines while her conventionally hot friends get it on."

"There's a kind of lubrication that allows the weight to travel more easily -- a bit like the sweeping of the ice in Olympic curling."

"The series never loses sight of its premise, though it remains bleak without beating you over the head."

"In many ways, Work in Progress is a familiar entry in an established genre: it's an indie comedy by and about a clever, dyspeptic misfit looking for love."

"I like the way [Abby] McEnany plays it short and sweet. The dialogue is crisp and some of her scenes are almost monologues, sardonic commentary on where she finds herself at that instant."

"Moves along at a rapid clip, with some snappy one-liners, most of them uttered by Abby and by Celeste Pechous, who plays her best friend, Campbell."

"With such a sweet central character, even an "ouch" moment becomes an "ah!" of empathy."

"It seems set to be an altogether warm, wonderful, brave, hilarious show that skimps neither on the comedy nor on the pressing of points of acute and chronic pain."
