	Author	Review
United States	Sonia Saraiya Variety	"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."	POS
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"NBC's true crime documentary spoof never really comes together, but John Lithgow, Sherri Shepherd and Steven Boyer deliver some laughs."	NEU
United States	Neil Genzlinger The New York Times	"It's a comedy that, if you can adjust to its deliberate dumbness, grows on you."	POS
United States	Robert Bianco USA Today	"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)"	POS
United States	Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe	"I laughed out loud at this kooky, uneven spoof, whose jokes are almost inevitably about how profoundly stupid the characters are."	POS
