	Author	Review
United States	Caroline Framke Variety	"[After four episodes], 'Work in Progress' is a remarkably solid debut from a comedian who knows her own voice, knows it’s funny, and is nonetheless unafraid to admit when she doesn’t like it."	POS
United States	Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone	"Dark and delightful (...) I did very much want to spend more time with [Abby] and that dwindling nut collection (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Jude Dry IndieWire	"The most radical queer show to ever make its way to television."	POS
United States	Danette Chavez AV Club	"McEnany is charming and self-effacing in the role (...) Happily enough, 'Work In Progress' doesn’t sand off Abby’s edges to make her more palatable"	POS
United States	Joel Keller Decider	"Abby McEnany is not afraid to leave her psyche completely open in 'Work In Progress', and we’re happy that she’s brave enough to do it. It makes for one of the most honest and funny shows we’ve seen all year"	POS
United States	Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"This is a dark and frank and wickedly funny profile of a likable, lightning-quick, middle-aged queer woman (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Melanie McFarland Salon	"[It] makes no assumptions about anybody’s understanding when it comes to sexual orientation or gender identity (...) It welcomes us into the awkwardness of moving into new social and psychological frontiers"	POS
Canada	Susan G. Cole Now Toronto	"LGBTQ+ viewers of all ages will love it. So will discerning straight people but, honestly, I have a feeling the producers of this series aren’t too worried if everyone can connect. They know their audience – and good for them."	POS
