Season 1 Ratings & Reviews
USA Today
Kelly Lawler
Although the jokes are broad and the studio audience laughter as loud and long as any other Lorre show, there's something quiet, simple and satisfying about "Abishola" that makes it stand out among the producer's canon
Common Sense Media
Melissa Camacho
But there's also an earnestness about Bob Hearts Abishola that makes it likable, and the writers' efforts at slowly bringing the two characters together to find common ground give these stereotypes some context.
Reason Online
Glenn Garvin
They have zero chemistry. They do not go on a date. They do not say anything funny.
The Hollywood Reporter
Robyn Bahr
I'm happy to report my concerns were (mostly) unfounded due to the show's surprising level of nuance, which renders Bob Hearts Abishola nothing short of groundbreaking.
New York Times
Mike Hale
Olowofoyeku and Gardell work diligently, but they're not given much to play besides good intentions.
Oregonian
Kristi Turnquist
The show is well-intentioned, but so far walks an unsteady line between the canned-laughter sound of a run-of-the-mill sitcom, and an attempt at something more ambitious.
WORLD
Megan Basham
There's no denying Lorre's gift for hooking an audience... Bob Hearts Abishola may be the funniest (and certainly the sweetest) pilot the man with the golden laugh track has ever produced.
Variety
Caroline Framke
The show probably can't keep them from a relationship for too long without stretching its premise too thin, but for now, their dynamic is a refreshingly unique one for a broadcast network sitcom.
TV Insider
Matt Roush
The problem with the show, which is evident pretty much from the start: Abishola can do better than Bob.
AARP Movies for Grownups
John Griffiths
If you got chuckles and awws out of Mike & Molly, cuddle up with this twist on that 2010-2016 hit.
Decider
Joel Keller
Bob Hearts Abishola has just enough heart (no pun intended) to put it ahead of how most Chuck Lorre comedies started, including huge hits like Two and a Half Men or The Big Bang Theory.
rogercatlin.com
Roger Catlin
The straining attempt at inclusion has its sweet moments, but a lot of its humor is based on unfunny tropes.
TIME Magazine
Judy Berman
Ostensibly, the show is an attempt to bridge cultural differences... In practice, however-and despite the participation of Nigerian-British co-creator Gina Yashere-it exoticizes its female lead and cracks easy jokes grounded in stereotypes.
