Barbara Hooks The Age (Australia) Supremely clever writing and exquisite timing combine with classic sitcom setups to make Frasier a treat as precious as a double decaf non-fat latte dusted with the faintest whisper of cinnamon from the Cafe Nervosa. Apr 7, 2021 Full Review Ken Tucker Entertainment Weekly One of the small miracles of Frasier is the way the show's high-strung, highbrow characters have managed to become mass-appeal favorites. Rated: B+ Aug 18, 2018 Full Review Alan Pergament Buffalo News "Frasier" opens season No. 4 with another terrific episode. Rated: 4/5 Apr 21, 2020 Full Review Steve Butts IGN Movies It's one of the rare shows that trusts the audience to be smart enough to catch the subtle jokes. Though the show was always strong, the characters are really hitting their stride by this point. Rated: 9/10 Aug 18, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Andrew B This is a go to classic for intellectual humor while building upon continuing story arcs and having solid stand alone episodes. Frasier is one of the best TV series ever made. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/03/24 Full Review Edwin T Sucks we have to review each season. But i have watched this entire show 3 times already throughout my life and i am watching it again! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/07/22 Full Review Audience Member Perhaps the season where Frasier came into its purest form, season four was exceptionally strong and consistent and ranks highly among the show's best years. The psychology humor is more intelligent than ever here, with scenarios including an episode where Frasier try to deduct why he's having a homoerotic dream, to ever reliable episodes that tackle the character's romantic misfortunes. Some great moments with Niles and Daphne this year too, which definitely paved way for their inevitable romance years later! Frasier was undoubtedly one of the freshest and funniest sitcoms of the 90's, and nearly three decades later there isn't really another show that compares to it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Great season and like before Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review dave d 'Frasier' season four continues down the intersection of great story telling and marvelous acting. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Show really hits its stride. Some of my favourite episodes take place over the course of this season.
