Season 1 Ratings & Reviews
The Hollywood Reporter
Daniel Fienberg
I liked the ensemble cast, which gets better and deeper as it goes along. I liked the small-town backdrop and the philosophical underpinnings. It made me laugh occasionally and some of its emotional threads felt rich to me.
The Playlist
Emma Fraser
This series spreads its wings to reach its potential.
Autostraddle
Heather Hogan
The series is as interested in the butterfly effect as it is in the idea of metamorphosis... The Big Door Prize is curious about how people read their cards, why they read them that way, and whether or not they have the courage to do something about it.
indieWire
Ben Travers
The 10-episode first season proves charming, well-considered, and tonally sound. Its priority is always on its ensemble of characters, which brings out the best in an affable cast.
Pop Culture Maniacs
Jean Henegan
In this ensemble series, much of the show rests on the strength of that ensemble. When the writing is taut, the characters compelling, and the performances are clear and nuanced, things work well.
NPR
Glen Weldon
It makes a strong case that we are at our best, our most human selves, when we allow ourselves, finally, simply, to try.
Collider
Chase Hutchinson
It is an intriguing premise that, even with some joyous and reflective moments scattered throughout, regrettably never makes the most of its own potential.
Pajiba
Dustin Rowles
For a series with a mysterious machine at its center, The Big Door Prize is oddly grounded. It is also immensely warm and heartfelt. The machine sets the story into motion, but the well-drawn, likable, and genuine characters are what make it work.
Geek Girl Riot
Sherin Nicole
The Big Door Prize is comforting but bonkers with characters fully magnified inside a petri dish of human absurdity.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Lloyd
"The Big Door Prize" is easy to like and even embrace.
Decider
Joel Keller
The Big Door Prize is a show that could have spent its time naval gazing, but the shifting perspectives of each episode keeps the show from going down that road.
Den of Geek
Alec Bojalad
The Big Door Prize's charms becomes as impossible as resisting the Morpho machine itself.
RogerEbert.com
Nandini Balial
[The Big Door Prize] attempts to marry drama and comedy and fails at both, all while featuring Pinterest-perfect production design and writing that smarts of the Hallmark Channel.
The Daily Beast
Coleman Spilde
What could easily be an obnoxiously high-concept study of humanity flies by with winsome joy, refusing to waste its time on overcomplicated storytelling that never gets to the point.
Culturess
Lindsay Press
This is a series about the importance of discovering potential and how understanding how one can wish for more for themself can encourage people to take on new directions or activities in life.
Variety
Amber Dowling
It takes a beat to get into the unique tone of the series, and to accept the magical realism that stops by now and again. But by the end you do care about what happens to these people.
The MacGuffin
Sarah Ksiazek
The series boasts some of the most incredible television writing of this year.
CBR
Josh Bell
The existential crises inspired by the cards aren't particularly funny, but they're not emotionally engaging enough to take seriously.
We Got This Covered
Martin Carr
Coming from the creator of 'Schitt's Creek,' 'The Big Door Prize'promises great things. Unfortunately, despite a savvy ensemble cast led by Chris O'Dowd, it never scales the heights some might have hoped for.
WTOP (Washington, D.C.)
Jason Fraley
I'd recommend Apple's "Ted Lasso" or "Shrinking" first, but if you've already knocked those out, give it a shot. Watching "The Big Door Prize" is like drawing a Morpho card - it might not be what you think you're gonna get, but it might be what you need.
