Season 1 Ratings & Reviews
AV Club
Steven Moore
The best and most obvious example of his abilities is Comedy Central's short-lived Important Things With Demetri Martin, a multi-faceted showcase for the comedian's minimalistic yet cerebral comedy.
HollywoodChicago.com
Brian Tallerico
Animation, musical numbers, long-form sketches, commercial parodies and oddball segues suggest that the show's star has a solid writing staff behind him and reveal his knack for ridiculous physical comedy.
PopMatters
Andrew Winistorfer
The impressive thing about Important Things with Demetri Martin isn't just how well it translated Martin's stage show; It's like a TV representation of all of Martin's quirks, comedic tics, and his unique brand of obtuseness.
Washington Post
Michael Cavna
Demetri Martin is a comic mind that needs room to roam. Fortunately, that's precisely what this new project -- a studio-stand-up/taped-skits/animated-bits/musical-ditty hybrid -- offers.
Los Angeles Times
LA Times Staff
It's cerebral -- Martin is a full-bore nerd, a law school dropout who writes palindromes and makes puzzles -- a kind of comedy of semiotics, exploiting the ambiguities and loopholes in words and symbols. (Which is to say, it's a form of philosophy.)
New York Times
Peter Keepnews
In any case this is fragile stuff, probably best appreciated in small doses, and fey touches - like the graphic at the beginning of the show introducing him as "Demetri Martin: Person" - walk a wobbly tightrope between cute and annoying.
The Hollywood Reporter
Ray Richmond
"Important Things" carries a smart sensibility and a swagger that prove consistently endearing.
Variety
Stuart Levine
Episode two - this time the premise is "power" - is a substantial improvement. The sketches, including a bit about fighting over a parking space, are more inspired and better executed.
Common Sense Media
Kari Croop
His style is low-tech (and often low-key), with a subtle nod to retro sensibilities ... and it is funny.
