Critic Reviews

Mary McNamara

Berman produces a deft juggling trick of heart and humor, balancing Deb's shallowness with some solid common sense and Jane's inadequate self-esteem with kindness and legal brilliance. Read full review

Alessandra Stanley

The series has humor and charm beneath its facile message, in large part (no disrespect intended) to a subtle, winning performance by Ms. Elliott. Read full review

Ellen Gray

What freshness exists in Sunday's premiere is largely due to Elliott, who's playing a character whose head(s) and heart(s) aren't yet fully synchronized. Read full review

Maureen Ryan

When Drop Dead Diva is at its best, it’s about two women who have lost a lot but are learning that they’ve gained something valuable as well. Read full review

David Zurawik

Here's a series that has a strong cast, great writing and what could prove to be an enlightened exploration of body and self image. Read full review

As Deb-inside-Jane, Elliott does a great job portraying pathos, absurd disappointment, and wide-eyed discovery. She’s far more interesting to watch than the other characters. Read full review

David Hinckley

it's still feeling like a pasted-together assortment of ideas and plot lines from productions past. Read full review

One of the best comedy performances to come along in awhile. Brooke Elliott keeps me coming back for more. It's been a long time since I've been so enthused about a new show. Hope it lasts a long, long time.

The show is cute and I like the actresses. April Bowlby is so funny. The only thing I find irritating is the platitudes about being big & overweight. They could have made the show a bit smarter and less predictable that way.
