      Hearts Afire — Season 1

      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Frothy with a political zip, Hearts Afire derives its warmth from witty repartee and an excellent ensemble, but less so from its central duo's questionable romantic chemistry.

      Tom Shales Washington Post It all just seems to work like gangbusters. Or maybe like clockwork. Or maybe just like a situation comedy ought to work. That doesn't happen as often as it should. Happily and cheeringly, Hearts Afire comes across. Jul 3, 2019 Full Review Greg Dawson Orlando Sentinel Hearts Afire, with its echoes of Designing Women and Evening Shade, has a strong sense of deja vu. The question now becomes how long the Thomasons can keep recycling the same old grits. Jul 3, 2019 Full Review John J. O'Connor New York Times After getting off to a surprisingly threadbare start, with the kids being tiresomely cute, Hearts Afire begins scoring frequently enough to keep itchy fingers off the remote. Jul 3, 2019 Full Review Tom Jicha South Florida Sun-Sentinel Hearts Afire is about as good as a comedy can be coming out of the box. The writing crackles with intelligent wit, there's a cornucopia of colorful characters and the casting is close to perfect. Jul 3, 2019 Full Review Chris Hicks Deseret News (Salt Lake City) Ritter and Post and Thornton are all good comic actors, and this show is an enjoyable romp, although some of its political gags are dated. Jul 3, 2019 Full Review Alan Pergament Buffalo News It doesn't matter how good Bloodworth-Thomason's words are -- and the script isn't as strong as the best episodes of her other two shows -- this romance has less fizz than a day-old Coke.
