Season 1 Reviews
Newsday
Verne Gay
In spite of impressive pedigree and cast, along with a few laughs, A.P. Bio ultimately earns a gentlemanly C.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Lloyd
It's a Bill Murray part, basically, of the sort Bill Murray has outgrown. But Howerton - abrasive at first, tolerably abrasive later on - finds some original things to do with it.
Village Voice
Lara Zarum
A.P. Bio follows the dumb logic of network sitcoms, to middling results...In its first few episodes, A.P. Bio struggles to balance the salty and the sweet.
Variety
Sonia Saraiya
"A.P. Bio" is just staggeringly unfunny, a clunky mess of a sitcom that has no idea how to innovate beyond its setup - nor any sense of what about its material is actually comedic.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
Ultimately this is a star vehicle for Howerton, with a sidecar for Oswalt.
indieWire
Ben Travers
A.P. Bio is an innately watchable sitcom, but ... O'Brien has an eye toward longevity as he builds intriguing details into Jack's life, meant for later exploration, and utilizes a strong supporting cast who play people with their own bits of bad in them.
Uncle Barky
Ed Bark
Howerton makes the most of his central ribald rogue role while Oswalt seemingly was built to be a bumbler.
The Hollywood Reporter
Daniel Fienberg
Like any good guidance counselor, I want to encourage A.P. Bio. No, it isn't living up to its potential yet, but I'm convinced that if it just applies itself to its work, it could be something really good.
Consequence
Michael Roffman
A.P. Bio feels less like a straight A-student and more like the interesting slacker in the back of the room cruising on Bs and Cs. It's a good look for NBC right now, but also for Howerton, who couldn't be more addicting on screen.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Jen Chaney
But like its protagonist, at this stage, A.P. Bio is a guy with a bad attitude and little sense of direction, one who has some potential but is too committed to his own cynical plans to do something actually great.
Boston Globe
Matthew Gilbert
Seeing [Glenn] Howerton in the more conventionally structured "A.P. Bio" is a pleasure, just as it's a treat to see Kaitlin Olson, another "Philadelphia" cast member, on her Fox sitcom, "The Mick."
Screen Rant
Kevin Yeoman
Instead, in its early going the series remains committed to presenting Jack as a particular kind of character, one that feels very outmoded at the moment.
AV Club
Erik Adams
The series also emerges with a remarkably self-assured vision. Like Jack and the honors students he consistently and thoroughly refuses to teach, A.P. Bio is set apart by confidence.
Common Sense Media
Joyce Slaton
Mature humor, iffy role models on school-set comedy.
Entertainment Weekly
Dana Schwartz
A.P. Bio is buoyed by Howerton's natural charisma and the delightful supporting cast.
USA Today
Kelly Lawler
Bio sits awkwardly between conventional and weird: It's neither straightforward or offbeat enough to strike a consistent tone.
TV Guide
Pilot Viruet
This emphasis on layered characters that break out of their perceived stereotypes helps elevate A.P. Bio from a basic sitcom to the sort of creative, character-driven comedies that NBC is famous for.
Cleveland Plain Dealer
Mark Dawidziak
But "A.P. Bio" doesn't feel like "The Good Place" or any other comedy on television, for that matter..."A.P. Bio" is that rare comedic commodity that giddily trots along several lines at once.
New York Times
Margaret Lyons
The show doesn't seem aware of its fixation on skeezy sexual misconduct -- never a tremendous well for humor, but even less so today.
AV Club
Randall Colburn
Obviously, there's plenty of comparisons to be made to both Eastbound & Down and Vice Principals, but the tones of those shows and this one are pretty wildly different, as is Howerton's style versus Danny McBride's.
