Lisa Weidenfeld Boston Globe Mar 31
I have a lot of affection for a show that has mastered the art of gentle cringe. And at a stressful time, it’s a tremendous relief to spend some time visiting Mavis’s version of Brooklyn. Go to Full Review Tara Bennett AV Club Mar 26

This second season benefits from tighter scripts, a steady stream of relatable and laugh-out-loud moments, and some A-plus support from Mavis’ besties, artist Khalil (Tone Bell) and sublime boss bitch Marley (Tasha Smith). Go to Full Review Lapacazo Magrira Sandoval New York Amsterdam News Apr 25
Season 2’s eight episodes are deeply satisfying, especially the finale. Go to Full Review Brooke Obie Black Girl Watching Apr 3
The show centers fat bodies, queer bodies, Black women’s bodies and all the intersections in between, in a way we never get to see on screen. It’s a charming, quick binge that will leave you feeling warm and fuzzy. Go to Full Review Jen Maravegias Pajiba Apr 1
If you want to bask in the glow of queer people of color living their lives mosturized, unbothered and looking fabulous, this is the show for you. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider Mar 31
As with the first season, Survival Of The Thickest rides on the effervescent confidence of Michelle Buteau, with Mavis now knowing that she took the big swing she never did before. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jessica O Apr 28 Love this show. One of the better comedies I’ve seen lately. It can be over-the-top and ridiculous in the best way while hilariously highlighting the reality of what life can be like for a woman trying to survive and thrive in the city in her late 30s. Also love the writing and chemistry between the cast members. Season 3 better be coming! See more Stephen C @Stephenc Apr 17 Fantastic show. I've never felt so many different emotions watching anything else. It's funny. It's beautiful. It's real. See more Miss I Apr 14 I love this show so much! It's refreshing! It's funny, I love the characters. One of my favorite series! No apology for anything, and we're here for it. See more Peter K @Vacadoug Apr 9 Hilarious, well-written beautifully filmed and a surprise ending to-boot! See more Mary Anne H Apr 7 Mavis has a cute personality but just not funny and storyline doesn’t go anywhere and is not interesting. See more Read all reviews
