Kelly Lawler USA Today The series is hilarious and mature (but not too grown-up), with a voice cast that includes Jason Ritter, Linda Cardellini and Kristen Schaal. Nov 10, 2021 Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com A beautiful blend of old-fashioned storytelling-the Pines kids and their array of friends and co-workers often recall the Scoobs as they investigate-with a modern sense of humor that never feels like it's talking down to kids. Feb 1, 2019 Full Review Alasdair Wilkins AV Club Kristen Schaal completely steals the show. Rated: B+ Sep 11, 2018 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy A mishmash of The X-Files and Scooby Doo, Where Are You!, with some Twin Peaks vibes and The Simpsons-style humor added for good measure. Rated: 3/4 Apr 6, 2021 Full Review Sabienna Bowman TV Equals It may be aimed at the 12 and under crowd, but Gravity Falls has something for everyone: it's smart, funny and sometimes even scary, but the most astounding thing about the series is that it just keeps getting better. Feb 1, 2019 Full Review Joey Keogh Den of Geek Best described as a must-watch for the full-grown adults who anxiously await the Halloween Lego mini-figures collection each year. It really is just that bloody good. Feb 1, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

This Season does a really good job with crafting a world filled with mystery, and setting up some really fun character arcs. Jason Ritter, Kristen Schaal, and Alex Hirsch do a really good job leading the charge, and play off each other really well. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/19/24 Full Review Read all reviews
