Ken Tucker Entertainment Weekly Any given week's plot is nothing special; Lawrence, however, is. He doesn't just give trite jokes a spin, he turns ordinary words into laugh getters. Rated: B+ Feb 12, 2024 Full Review Mike Duffy Detroit Free Press Obviously, there's a rude Fox network energy to these goofy funhouse proceedings. Unfortunately, the writing on the Martin premiere is raggedy and erratic. Rated: 2/4 Feb 12, 2024 Full Review Ed Siegel Boston Globe Redd Foxx is alive and well and living in Martin Lawrence... The writing, though, doesn't keep pace with Lawrence's talents. Rated: 2.5/4 Feb 12, 2024 Full Review David Zurawik Baltimore Sun [Martin] seems to have something missing. Or, maybe, It's a matter of having too much of something, too much room for comedian Martin Lawrence's considerable talent to run wild and not enough story, structure or sitcom writing. Feb 12, 2024 Full Review Joyce Millman San Francisco Examiner For a show that could be cutting ' edge if it wanted to (anything goes on Fox), it's disappointing to see it settling for [such] tired jokes. Feb 12, 2024 Full Review Hal Boedeker Miami Herald Fox has yet to find a strong show to follow The Simpsons. The latest try, Martin, debuted last week and looks like a drag.
