Critics' reviews

"It’s frequently possible to see the jokes in 'Trial & Error' coming from a mile away, but the commitment of the performers somehow makes even the silliest punchlines very funny."

Sonia Saraiya: Variety
"NBC's true crime documentary spoof never really comes together, but John Lithgow, Sherri Shepherd and Steven Boyer deliver some laughs."

Daniel Fienberg: The Hollywood Reporter
"It's a comedy that, if you can adjust to its deliberate dumbness, grows on you."

Neil Genzlinger: The New York Times
"A good percentage of the show's jokes land, and the show's structure (...) is a welcome variation on the conventional sitcom form. Plus you have Lithgow, giving another master class in comedy. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"

Robert Bianco: USA Today
"I laughed out loud at this kooky, uneven spoof, whose jokes are almost inevitably about how profoundly stupid the characters are."

Matthew Gilbert: Boston Globe
