After being fired from her beloved role as head coach of a first-class cheerleading team, Courteney Potter is ready to stage the ultimate comeback. Just one championship shy of becoming the winningest college cheer coach ever, she takes a new job in a small Southern town where she recruits a group of lovable misfits in the hopes of training them to become a competitive squad. But getting this collection of underdogs to the nationals in the highly competitive world of junior college cheer might just be Courteney's toughest job yet.

Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times Nov 10
The results here, rich in slapstick and silliness, are very good. I laughed a lot, anyway. Go to Full Review Aramide Tinubu Variety Nov 7
With a highly talented cast who clearly know their characters and exceptional comedic timing, the show hits the ground running, and it can only reach new heights from here. Go to Full Review Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter Nov 7
The comedy is a tonal mess, veering between underdeveloped jokes and unearned sentiment. But it’s a mess that’s trying so hard, and with such a big smile, that you still kinda hope it’ll find it’s footing someday. Go to Full Review Stephanie Morgan Common Sense Media Nov 11
4/5
The writing is sharp, the dialogue spot on, and the tone is a perfect balance of earnest and absurd. Go to Full Review Diana Keng Geek Girl Authority Nov 8
Stumble bursts onto the scene with heart and humor....deliver[s] absurdly endearing, unapologetic hijinks and fills a half-hour with pure escapist glee. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider Nov 7
Stumble is not only funny, but it has a surprising amount of heart and character-based humor, and our hope is that it’ll improve on both factors after a strong start. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

David Z. @MylesZ 1d Hilarious and well written See more Olivia V 3d This show is absolutely hilarious! It most definitely falls into that category along with The Office, Parks and Rec, St. Dennis Medical... legit some of the best shows ever made! All of actors do an amazing job, including the main character & coach Jenn Lyon & her HILARIOUS husband, SNL alumnus Taran Killam. Ryan Pinkston kills me too!! Honestly everyone is great. The narcoleptic cheerleader I cannot get enough of! The writers are genius bc all the little funny moments (such as when Taran repeats himself a few times) are golden. I used to cheer and I absolutely love this show 🤣🤣 You do not have to be a fan of cheer tho to genuinely enjoy this show. I recommend this show to anyone who is a fan of comedy, esp that goofy LOL kind. I dislike waiting for each episode to drop tho! 😭 I watch them instantly haha along with St. Dennis Medical. Check them both out! You shant regret it! See more Krissy F. @rileyjetso Nov 26 So funny!!! Love it. Hard to make me laugh out loud but I did. Awesome cast, writing, direction and production! See more John K Nov 25 The cast is amazing! Everything about the show is great. It’s really well written. It’s sweet, funny, touching and Imy wife and I look forward to seeing this show more than anything else out there. It’s a great new show… definitely a must see. See more kira K. @galpachino Nov 23 really funny! the leads have incredible comedic timing and the documentary format adds a lot See more Tom G Nov 19 While there are some funny moments, Stumble lives up to its name. It would do better without the mock documentary format, as it seems to struggle most, that is, lose its pace, when trying to explain and justify its failures. The characters are stereotypical and one dimensional. The acting - if that’s what one would very generously call it - is way over the top with the brain damaged husband and the scheming ex-assistant coach. The cast of the cheer team are simply glorified extras without any character development beyond their initial character description. Except for the sight gags' there is little to like. If you are looking for a smart, well written sitcom, keep looking. If you want to mock a bunch of inept characters and low comedy, this is your show. See more Read all reviews
