Clean Slate: Season 1

"It’s sweet, cosy and very funny."

"I’m hard-pressed to recall a show that is as committed to avoiding conflict."

"At times the series veers so far from conflict that its characters feel thin and underdeveloped."

"A pretty decent newfangled old-fashioned comedy."

"Warmhearted, consistently funny and thoroughly engaging."

"The actors do a lot with what they’re given."

"Much more subdued than audiences might expect from Lear’s past work."

"It’s a community story with an endlessly amusing father and daughter as its engine."

"The feel of the show is a little old-fashioned, like comfort food."

"If only the series had a little more comedic bite."

"A flawed but sweet and ultimately pretty good comedy."

"The first episode wasn’t nearly as funny as we’d hope it would be."

"Likable and non-confrontationally well-meaning."

"The sexual tension between Cox's Desiree Slate and Wilkison's Mack is palpable."

"A mixed bag of lovable characters and stale one-liners."
