IndieWire Ben Travers

[McDermott's Captain Dave] is the most interesting guy in the skies, so it’s cool that he doesn’t have much of a life on the ground. Moreover, it’s fine with the audience that these traits are a bit formulaic because McDermott is having so much fun filling in the rest. It’s unclear if that will be enough to sustain a series in need of some tweaks, but there’s more than enough here to justify watching. Read full review

The sitcom has all the makings of a witty, fun half-hour. Read full review

Quirky and unlike any current TV comedies, it’s got smart, dumb-funny humor and a great comedic turn by Mr. McDermott. Read full review

Josh Bell

Dec 28, 2017

With jokes about strippers, quickie weddings and niche conventions, the show certainly doesn’t have a sophisticated or original take on Vegas. Its take on air travel is slightly fresher, but for the most part it occupies the same sitcom level as the budget airline for which its characters work. Read full review

[It] doesn’t feel slapped together, but after you’ve seen three episodes, you may legitimately find yourself wondering if the show has legs--or wings, as it were--for the long haul. Read full review

You can see LA to Vegas isn’t trying that hard to be clever or fresh. As in-flight entertainment goes, this series is grounded. Read full review

I don’t think I’ll see a worse new comedy in 2017 than FOX’s LA to Vegas, a strikingly unfunny piece of television that produced not a single laugh for me in its 22-minute premiere. ... I watched the premiere with such a stunned look on my face that it would have been funnier if FOX just recorded me and aired that instead. Read full review

Love the premise and think there is great chemistry with the main characters. Really hope more people give this a chance. Hilarious so far and just the fact that they had Dylan McDermott and Dermot Mulroney together in one episode is next level stuff.

It's one of those series with a bunch of wacky people being wacky, with a Ted Baxterish captain, a Russian gambler who runs constant side bets on every drama, a stripper, and two flight attendants, one witty, one neurotic, and an English guy the neurotic one may or may not wind up dating. Plus guest stars that includes a corpse.

I almost didn't watch this because of all the negative reviews, and probably did so only because there was a short-lived TV series in an airport years ago that I really liked. I should ignore critics, but there's just so much TV it's hard to check out everything.

Anyway, ignore the critics. At least watch the trailer on youtube, which convinced me to give the series a chance. Seriously, it's very funny.… Expand

So LA to Vegas is a good show. The jokes are mostly funny but are no match for other shows like South Park and Family Guy. The problem is that how can this make us laugh a lot if the story is half empty?

The premise of LA to Vegas reminds me of the show The Guest Book, i.e., a core cast of characters with a new group of supporting characters each week.

The plane's captain is just wrong for the role, or maybe the script is mis-written for him. Either way, I've started to skip past his scenes, as they add little to the show.

Maybe it will work better than The Guest Book (not difficult to do) but I doubt it. The premise seems too contrived.

I'm going to watch a couple more weeks with the hope it improves.… Expand

I originally gave LA To Vegas a review of 4, but now that I've seen a couple more episodes, I'm changing it to ZERO!

You know there's a tiny little Canadian sitcom called KIM's CONVENIENCE that's filmed in Toronto. Kim's Convenience is WAY funnier and better in every way and it puts LA To Vegas to absolute shame! I think Fox needs to declare MAYDAY and pull the plug on this shamefully, pathetic T.V. show.… Expand
