When single dad George Altman finds a box of condoms on the nightstand of his daughter, Tessa, he doesn't know what to do at first. Eventually, he decides to move with Tessa from a New York City apartment to a house in the suburbs. It's culture shock in the beginning, especially for Tessa, but the big-haired moms and caffeine-chugging kids slowly start to become endearing. George's knee-jerk reaction may work out better than he had imagined -- experiencing the transition together helps dad and daughter grow closer.

Brandon Nowalk AV Club This finale is more about taking action than facing consequences. The fact is Tessa and Ryan and Lisa and Malik are growing up and making decisions that conflict with their parents' values. Rated: A- Feb 6, 2019 Full Review Maureen Ryan HuffPost Allie Grant is unheralded and stealthily great; her insecure yet wily character, fellow teen Lisa Shay, most successfully unites the satire and the sweetness that the show is often going for. Oct 17, 2012 Full Review Nancy DeWolf Smith Wall Street Journal It never stands still long enough to bore. Aug 17, 2012 Full Review Cinemablend Staff CinemaBlend [Suburgatory] has proved to be one of the most clever and careful shows on television. Feb 14, 2019 Full Review Adam Newland TV Equals The idea that one of the better comedies of television is improving is an exciting thing to see. Even Dalia may crack a few smiles over it. Feb 6, 2019 Full Review Matt Fowler IGN Movies This is a very tight and well-executed series that embraces action movie cliches as much as it subverts them. Rated: 8.4/10 Aug 17, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews
