      John Anderson Wall Street Journal 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. May 12, 2021 Full Review Caroline Framke Variety 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. May 12, 2021 Full Review Inkoo Kang Hollywood Reporter 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. May 12, 2021 Full Review Bill Brioux Brioux.tv Refreshingly unaspirational. Oct 4, 2022 Full Review Ashley Spurgeon Nashville Scene 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. Sep 9, 2021 Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media The Upshaws is a humorous and contemporary portrayal of an imperfect but loving family. Rated: 3/5 May 19, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
