Tim Goodman San Francisco Chronicle The Martha Stewart aspect lingers over this sitcom and can't help but make it feel dated and behind the curve. Jul 23, 2019 Full Review Hal Boedeker Orlando Sentinel Style & Substance - which has neither - centers on Chelsea Stevens, a homemaking expert of audacious abrasiveness. Jul 23, 2019 Full Review Steve Johnson Chicago Tribune It is a delectable and strongly flavored confection about a Martha Stewart type, alternately fragile and ferocious, who wields her tastefully bejeweled scepter over a multimedia cooking and decorating empire. Jul 23, 2019 Full Review Tom Jicha South Florida Sun-Sentinel Style & Substance is one of those shows whose pilot is amusing enough to sustain interest for a half-hour but not sufficiently engaging to encourage habit viewing. Jul 23, 2019 Full Review Terry Kelleher People Magazine [Martha] Stewart is a tempting comic target, and the new series Style & Substance comes out firing. Not at her, of course, but at a fictional central character whose resemblance to actual persons living or dead is purely coincidental. Rated: B Jul 23, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
