Critic Reviews

Robert Lloyd

There's nothing here you couldn't imagine from the premise, but there's also nothing wrong with what's here: McGraw is a good foil for Grammer, and Grammer is good at what he does. Read full review

Alessandra Stanley

The comedy pivots on Hank’s painful adjustment to middle-class living, but that joke is undercut with syrupy life lessons about parental responsibility and quality time. Read full review

Paige Wiser

The basic concept isn't bad. It's nice to see a captain of industry humbled, particularly now, but even that is unsatisfying in Hank. Read full review

Jonathan Storm

In a bad sitcom, everybody dies, as the laugh track gets louder and louder, and Hank, though it isn't a horror, has that loud laugh track and the slight, familiar scent of death. Read full review

Brian Lowry

While Hank doesn't promise to add much cachet to those Hall of Fame credentials, this is a show transparently designed for paychecks, not posterity. Read full review

Glenn Garvin

There's an unfortunate whiff of Marie Antoinette about Grammer's breezily ungrounded Hank. Read full review

Tim Goodman

A moronic and ghastly effort that suffocates under the cloying and annoying blanket of a laugh track so disturbing it should be destroyed. Read full review
