	Author	Review
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"[4th Season Review]: One of the best shows you've never watched goes out strong (...) A tremendous slice of speculative satire"	POS
United States	Steve Greene IndieWire	"[4th Season Review]: The last eight episodes of 'Brockmire' also stumble on something profound not by reinventing the future, but singling out what might remain"	POS
United States	Mike Hale The New York Times	"[4th Season Review]: You’ll probably stay for the dialogue, still an uncommon concoction of literate, clever and rancid"	POS
Canada	Kevin Yeoman Screen Rant	"[4th Season Review]: [It] manages to weave together near-future fiction, dystopian humor, and a wildly effective father-daughter story to bring one of the best comedies of the last few years to an emotional and fulfilling end"	POS
United States	Daniel Kurland Den of Geek	"[4th Season Review]: Every season of 'Brockmire' has been a home run, but this concluding year is an epic grand slam that solidifies this series’ place in the comedy hall of fame."	POS
United States	Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone	"[4th Season Review]: There is something so fundamentally ridiculous about this man and his world (...) that it still feels miraculous how deeply felt Azaria’s performance can be (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Josh Sorokach Decider	"[3rd Season Review]: 'Brockmire’s' latest season adds a new layer of emotional nuance to a character that could’ve been fairly one-dimensional, but series creator Joel Church-Cooper strived for more and it absolutely shows"	POS
United States	Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone	"[3rd Season Review]: Both Brockmire the man and 'Brockmire' the show are at their absolute best by the end of this season. We don’t deserve either of them."	POS
United States	Steve Greene IndieWire	"[3rd Season Review]: If there’s a breakthrough development for this season, it’s that the show found a way to transform Brockmire’s love of the game into something more substantial."	POS
United States	Daniel Kurland Den of Geek	"[3rd Season Review]: [It] has always been an expertly scripted series and this season Joel-Church Cooper’s scripts continue to deliver some of the most brilliant, jam-packed dialogue you’ll come across on television"	POS
United States	Steve Greene IndieWire	"[2nd Season Review]: 'Brockmire' has always been able to deliver some of the best jokes around (...) but now one of the funniest shows on TV is becoming one of 'ts most thoughtful."	POS
United States	Alec Bojalad Den of Geek	"[2nd Season Review]: A character created only to provide a quick comedy lesson in contrasts developed into an incredibly believable and touching depiction of self-destruction (…) Rating: ★★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Margaret Lyons The New York Times	"[2nd Season Review]: 'Brockmire' remains one of the filthiest shows on television — but in a gleeful, sincere way (...) Raunchy and funny and fun"	POS
United States	Josh Sorokach Decider	"[2nd Season Review]: The potent mix of clever writing, Tyrel Jackson Williams, and Hank Azaria combine to make the latest season of Brockmire an unequivocal home run."	POS
United States	Neil Genzlinger The New York Times	"If you loved the baseball film 'Major League' but always wished Bob Uecker’s broadcaster character had been darker and more bawdy, this is your show."	POS
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"I reached the finale and was surprised at how much I wanted to see more from a character I initially thought couldn't sustain more than five minutes."	POS
United States	Sonia Saraiya Variety	"'Brockmire' is a weird, funny portrait of a singular man, and it paints its picture very well."	POS
United States	David Wiegand SFGATE	"The plot is consistent--completely ridiculous from the first of the eight episodes to the last--but credibility isn’t anyone’s concern here."	POS
United States	Steve Greene IndieWire	"[It] finds plenty of laughs in the absurd, but hasn't quite figured out how to use the show's premise to its advantage."	NEU
United States	Verne Gay Newsday	"A tedious baseball comedy (...) Liking 'Brockmire' requires liking Brockmire, and liking him is challenge enough."	NEG
United States	Lorraine Ali Los Angeles Times	"[It's] pitch-perfect satire if you’re a baseball fan, or have a nostalgic attachment thanks to radio broadcasts of the game that still sound like they’re beamed in from 1957."	POS
