This show is GREAT! Andrea is hilarious. She says stuff no one else would say and in a matter-of-fact way. The entire cast works very well with each other. This show is perfect for TruTV. It's 50 times better than the reality crap with is all over TV these days. Hope its on for years and years to come!

Hilarious new show
kerrgj23 July 2017
I created an account just to post this review for I'm Sorry. What a terrific new comedy, A+ TruTV.
I'm sorry has the feel of another show I used to enjoy, The League, however I'd have to say I'm Sorry is even funnier. The cast is terrific and the lead, Andrea, is relatable and along with her friend Kyle, gut busting funny. The dialogue is top notch. Terrific new show!

It's funny ... but ...

I like it over all but Andrea can be a bit tiring. She is extremely dominating. She takes all the screen time, all the jokes and talks constantly. All the other characters are basically just back drops for her to bounce her jokes and awkward comments off of. It's a shame because the characters are great you just don't get to hear them. It's an untapped resource that could balance it out.
One of the funniest shows out there

Binged this show in 2 nights with my wife, and we laughed the whole time!
Andrea (played by Andrea Savage) is a hilariously crass, honest, well intentioned, fast-talking mom who constantly says what she's thinking (like Jane Lynch or Vince Vaughn). Sometimes it works out well for her, and other times it just makes things worse-which only intensifies as she tries to dig herself out of awkward situations that she creates for herself because she keeps talking. Her husband, Mike (Tom Everett Scott), is brilliant with his side glances and witty remarks as they banter back and forth. Their chemistry is on point. In fact, the whole cast fits rather seemlessly into the constant ribbing and shenanigans, especially her best friend and co-writer, Kyle (Jason Mantzoukas).
The only reason this is a 9 is because some of their 5 year old daughter's lines feel forced. But, she always sets Andrea down a path of raw, honest parenting that's sometimes hard to watch in a hilarious way!

Andrea Savage Kills It (In A Good Way)
atlasmb15 August 2017
This comedy show in intended for adult audiences. It features Andrea Savage and Tom Everett Scott as parents of a young daughter, played by newcomer Olive Petrucci.
Olive is adorable and Tom ("La La Land") is a great foil for Andrea's stand-up style of humor. She doesn't tiptoe through the minefield of motherhood, she bulldozes. She targets new trends with a non-PC outspokenness that is refreshing. In one episode she lampoons "goddess parties".
The show features a great supporting cast, like Kathy Baker ("Boston Public"; "Boston Legal"; and other non--Boston shows), and some guest stars who are fun to see (like Judith Light and Martin Mull). I hope some of them (like Morgan Walsh and Gary Anthony Williams) will return.
If you like sharp-edged humor and don't mind some profanity, this is a good show to watch. The style of humor reminds me of "Nobodies" and "Teachers".

Finally...a worthy replacement for "The League"

Love this show!!
haleykarnes26 February 2019
I am picky with my comedy and sitcomes. I absolutely love this one. The dynamic between all the characters is great. They play off of each other well. I feel the show is relatable and pushes boundaries just the right amount. There are even a few subtle teachable moments. I find this show extremely funny.
Curb Your Enthusiasm for parents of young kids
tonifrain20 August 2021
I love this show. It has a very Curb Your Enthusiasm feel to it, if only Larry David was a mom of a young child, navigating play dates, school events, and other parents while trying maintain an identity independent of all that. I am Andrea and Andrea is me.
S1 was great but S2 got old quickly.

Perfect show for the new generation of parents!
nicolerolison20 July 2017
When I first saw the advertisements I honestly didn't really understand what the show was about but, one night after one of my ended it came on and I decided to watch it. This is the perfect show for the new generation of parents, mainly because we have evolved to be edgy and more open about the real situations about parenting, stuff that is normally not a topic of discussion, is on this show! Plus, it is great comedy for parents to watch (without their child depending on age) and be able to laugh at the issues with parenting and other adult situations!
Very funny at times but relies way too much on one style
zimmerblake9 November 2019
This show is hilarious at times and I loved the first season. However, in the second season the writing has gotten extraordinarily lazy and they just fall back on the same comedy style for every scene. One character pretends to be or do something and the other one plays along for laughs. For example, Andrea will pretend to be a prostitute and her husband will remark like he is a pimp. Then in the next scene Andrea will pretend to be a sexual predator and her writing partner will pretend he supports it. This happens almost every scene with the pretend situation changed up a little. I had to stop watching because it got boring and predictable.
Could Have Been a Much Better Show IF...
elixirr14 August 2021
...the main character wasn't hogging the screen time 99% of the time and continuously just talking and talking and talking. I did enjoy the first season, but something about second that it got super annoying just hearing Andrea's sarcastic non-stop yap and pretty much same jokes about "private parts" over and over again.
It got just too much.
It got just too much.
great show
jayful-7903226 July 2017
Andrea Savage and Tom Everett Scott have great chemistry and the writing is literally (yes, I know what literally means) laugh out loud funny. I saw some bad reviews that seem to favor cookie cutter sitcoms over actual comedy.
Also, Jason Mantzoukas should be in everything.

HILARIOUS!

This show is hilarious!! Crying laughing! Following the hilarious pursuits of a comedy writer mom and wife with no inner dialogue! A refreshingly happy marriage and an honest reaction to life's absurdities. Heard about it word of mouth - originally on Tru TV and now streaming on Netflix!
Female Larry David

They all interact with each other very well, and the writing for sure is outstanding. I hope this plays for a LONG time.

I overall enjoyed the show, but there are some flaws
Nadrizzle30 August 2021
Like most reviews mention, Andrea is the star of every scene in every episode, with 80% or more of the talking done exclusively by her. Some of the scenarios and dialogue ends up being funny or cute, while a similar portion of them feel forced or only possible by the support/encouragement of her friends. I enjoyed the light-hearted nature of the show that served as a reminder not to take life too seriously, which lifted my spirits when I watched. Gary Anthony Williams (Brian) really added a fun vibe and I loved the scenes with him in it. Her daughter was probably one of the worst parts of the show, with cringe-worthy unnatural questions, or the parents talking about inappropriate topics around her as if she wasn't there.
I'm giving the show a solid 7, as it kept me entertained, put me in a better mood after watching, and had some funny moments plus a good cast.

I'm not sorry that I watched this !

I usually don't like comedies with awkward situations and misunderstandings (basically I cannot identify with such comedic characters) but this new comedy with stand-up comedian Andrea Savage is rather entertaining.
The setup is far from original, the suburban wife and mom, with the understanding, supporting husband and the curious kid, but the "feel" is different from other comedies, let's say "American Housewife" (which is also a good comedy for its own sake).
The script is well written for its genre, although the "do or say something awkward in front of other people who then staring at you with contempt and disapproval" pattern might get old really soon.
Overall: Check it out if you like jokes derived from uncomfortable situations.

Not terrible but falls a little flat
theweffy8 October 2018
I'm several episodes in, and after a few you realize what you're getting. Kinda funny moments, awkward humor, a little shock value, "kids say the darndest things" R-rated version.
The main character's delivery reminds me of a younger version of Jane Lynch a little bit, but falls a little short of her biting, on-point delivery.
A quite adore Tom Everett Scott, but his presence on the show is LITERALLY as a prop, someone to bounce the "quirky" banter of the main character. What a waste because he has plenty quirkiness of his own, definitely shouldn't be the square husband whose only basis for existence is to shake his head at his "oh so zany, inappropriate but lovable wife!"
I'm probably going to finish season 1 because I'm a masochist like that, but I didn't fall in love with this show as I hoped I would.

Seriously funny
juliahultz8 September 2020
Quick witted, dry and often crude humor make this show hilarious! If only I could have a relationship like theirs! Focuses on a married couple with one young child dealing with life's ups and downs...not your typical sitcom!
This is a really good show.........
