Robert Bianco's review of Community for USA Today

Review of Community for Hollywood Reporter

If creator/writer Dan Harmon earns only a "C" for the framework of his show, he gets higher grades for its brisk pace and clever writing. And some extra credit is in order for casting, as well.... Read More

Matthew Gilbert's review of Community for Boston Globe

The show is overstuffed with political and pop culture jokes about everything from 9/11 to “The Breakfast Club,’’ but they’re always secondary to the warm ensemble character comedy. The free-floating ... Read More

Daynah Burnett's review of Community for PopMatters

Given the heft of the show’s themes and the crispness of the writing, it’s got to be a brilliant social commentary disguised as a major network sitcom, right? Or maybe Joel McHale really is that likab... Read More
