Season 1 Ratings & Reviews
Common Sense Media
Melissa Camacho
The Upshaws is a humorous and contemporary portrayal of an imperfect but loving family.
NBC News THINK
Aramide Tinubu
The Upshaws, is, of course, not a stand-in for the entirety of the Black American experience, but, by incorporating the complexities of a blended family amid varied parental and marital relationships, it feels not only timely, but also incredibly genuine.
Nashville Scene
Ashley Spurgeon
But the throwback vibes of the '90s sitcoms I grew up loving are what's going to keep it in the queue - it lands somewhere between One Day at a Time and The Cool Kids, mostly endearing, a little bit dumb.
Entertainment Weekly
Kristen Baldwin
Both Sykes and Hicks have more than two decades of TV on their résumés, and The Upshaws benefits from their sitcom expertise... But it's TV treasure Fields who holds The Upshaws together.
Variety
Caroline Framke
Having such a particular blended family immediately gives The Upshaws a specificity that really works for it, especially when the scripts lean all the way in by letting the characters react to it all individually, too.
Wall Street Journal
John Anderson
The jokes are entrenched in racial stereotyping and clichés. The Upshaws was meant to be transgressive, one imagines. It's harder to imagine who'll be laughing.
The Hollywood Reporter
Inkoo Kang
Save for one noteworthy update to the Black family sitcoms of yore, Sykes and her co-creator Regina Y. Hicks' largely listless series would've fit right into the network TV comedy landscape 20 years ago.
Decider
Joel Keller
Has "good sitcom bones", but is so saddled with tired plots and dialogue it just makes for a show that feels like it's already stale.
