Critics Consensus

A tasty crime caper where the laughs come first, Deli Boys busts a gut with Asif Ali and Saagar Shaikh's bumbling chemistry and Poorna Jagannathan's scene-stealing turn.

Wenlei Ma The Nightly (AU) Deli Boys has crackling chemistry, absurd jokes and, at times, a squishy centre. Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Saloni Gajjar AV Club Poorna Jagannathan steals the show in Hulu’s darkly comedic thriller. The 10-episode first season is full of hijinks and heart, centering on fully realized, flawed South Asian protagonists whose culture is seamlessly integrated into the mix. Rated: B Mar 11, 2025 Full Review John Anderson Wall Street Journal The Pakistani tilt to “Deli Boys” is refreshing. So is Mr. Saeed’s instinct for sensing the edge of acceptable comedy and then stomping all over it. Mar 7, 2025 Full Review Monique Jones Common Sense Media This fun series presents viewers with a new perspective on action comedies. Mar 19, 2025 Full Review Jen Maravegias Pajiba It’s a fun show that deserves a second season. While it feels weird to say “representation matters” in relation to shows about organized crime, it’s still true. Mar 18, 2025 Full Review Neely Swanson Beverly Hills Courier Swiftly paced, each episode has more jokes that land than not and it’s a fun, absurd take on characters you rarely see on screen.

Ted C SPOILERS: silly, entertaining show about a pair of sweet brothers and their friends and family doing crimes. i don't think crime or the people the characters stand in for are like this in the real world, but that's okay. there is: * a murder mystery involving an unexpected weapon * shamanism * struggles between love and credible threat of imprisonment * nuclear family * found family Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/21/25 Full Review Dan M Nothing like this. Breaking Bad meets Spies Like Us? Does not take itself seriously for one second unless doing so ironically. Aunt Lucky is a gem. In this golden age of content and multiple channels to receive it, I'm glad we stumbled on this show. What a wonderful alternative to doomscrolling. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/20/25 Full Review Esra Y It's funny, gets better each episode. If given chance for more seasons it can become a memorable comedy. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/19/25 Full Review Audience Member Much better than I excepted. 8/10 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/17/25 Full Review Colleen C Absolutely loved this series! Super witty and just fun to watch. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/08/25 Full Review Star K Deli Boys is an absolute gem of a show—equal parts hilarious, heartfelt, and thrilling. It blends sharp comedy with an exciting crime drama, all while delivering a fresh, unique story centered around two immigrant brothers trying to navigate their late father’s mysterious empire. The writing is top-notch, balancing humor and suspense effortlessly. The characters are deeply engaging, with each episode revealing new layers to their personalities and struggles. It’s rare to find a show that can make you laugh out loud one moment and have you on the edge of your seat the next. Beyond the entertainment, Deli Boys also explores themes of family, culture, and the immigrant experience in a way that feels genuine and refreshing. It’s smart, stylish, and full of surprises—definitely a must-watch for anyone looking for something bold and different. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/06/25 Full Review Read all reviews
