Season 1 Reviews
Hollywood Reporter
Randee Dawn
Just sit back and wait for Lake to finish swirling and go gurgle gurgle down the drain, making room for something that's actually funny.
New York Times
Ginia Bellafante
Broadly limned, Big Lake works neither as a satire nor as an adventure in surrealist comedy, and it is tough to watch the strain for eccentricity.
New York Post
Linda Stasi
Seriously, wouldn't you think, "same old/same old?" I did. Then it started, and I started to giggle. But by the second episode I was spitting diet Coke out of my nose.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Amos Barshad
Not a bad premise for a comedic television show. But right now, problems abound.
Variety
Brian Lowry
Comedy Central's stab at a multicamera sitcom, Big Lake, isn't merely bad. It's "Wow, how did that happen given who's involved?" bad.
TV Guide
Matt Roush
The only truly inventive character in this subversive scenario is Josh's kid brother (Dylan Blue), whose adorably wholesome and lisping persona is a front for a scheming, gun-toting, pill-peddling villain.
New York Daily News
David Hinckley
It just plays like strung-together sketch comedy, working much harder for fewer rewards than if it added a little depth to the characters.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Lloyd
Their [Gethard and Parnell] interplay, once things get moving, is appealing, if not quite compelling,
Paste Magazine
Josh Jackson
It's this discordant gimmick - uncomfortable humor set in the cozy confines of the mainstream American sitcom - that makes Big Lake worth checking out.
Philadelphia Daily News
Ellen Gray
I might not believe for a moment that any of these people actually exist in nature, much less Pennsylvania, but Big Lake, with its wink and a nod to a format that always required suspension of disbelief, is at least more than willing to own its silliness.
Boston Globe
Matthew Gilbert
It's just a flat traditional sitcom built around lazy, repetitive jokes and audience cackles. It's just bad.
Media Life
Tom Conroy
The show's writing, although not particularly innovative, is good, and the talented cast makes the most of it.
Common Sense Media
Kari Croop
Big Lake is so bad that you're left wondering what went wrong - and whom to blame.
AV Club
Steve Heisler
The show stands out for rallying against the typical sugar-coated sitcom, and it stands to reason that with parts as strong as it's started with, the whole is going to improve.
