Phillip Maciak The New Republic The Chair Company manages to be both a high-surrealist critique of the dehumanization of work and a portrait of fragile humanity. You won’t get swept away by its narrative or its cast of characters, but you might find yourself, unaccountably, moved. Nov 10, 2025 Full Review Beth Webb Empire Magazine An incendiary, violently funny nightmare, The Chair Company gifts us Tim Robinson at the top of his strange, single-player game. There is nobody doing what he does. And we, thankfully, have to live with that. Rated: 4/5 Oct 28, 2025 Full Review Melanie McFarland Salon.com For all its familiar eccentricity, “The Chair Company” is ultimately a satisfying exercise of give-and-take, with Robinson empowering his costars to draw us into their squeamishness and oddity as frequently as his everyman stampedes through his. Oct 15, 2025 Full Review Ezequiel Boetti Otroscines.com ... one of the main sources of humor lies in the contrast between the grandiloquence of the suspicions and the banality of the office environment where much of the story takes place. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 31, 2025 Full Review Marty Brown Common Sense Media The comedic bits don't always work, but Robinson is easy to root for and has occasional moments of absolute genius. Rated: 4/5 Oct 28, 2025 Full Review Alex Maidy JoBlo's Movie Network The Chair Company is a lot of fun to watch, even though it will definitely divide audiences who will either get what Robinson is going for or check out after the first episode.

Mallory W Considerably funny, surprisingly layered, and perfectly Tim Robinson. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/12/25 Full Review E F This show is great. At first, you think its a comedy but then it slowly drifts into something else. It's likes a bad dream version of the Office, in a good way. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/11/25 Full Review J N I tried to like this. Twice. The synopsis makes it sound like something i would love. But I need to like at least one character and this show has no likable characters. There were some funny bits and I'm a little invested in the mystery, but it's not enough. This is the same reason I couldn't watch Curb Your Enthusiasm, which obviously was hugely popular, so if you don't need a likable character you may love this. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/11/25 Full Review Derrick K First episode is actually pretty good and funny. After the first episode. However, there are very few laughs to be found Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/11/25 Full Review Blake B Tim Robinson is sensational in his most brilliant work yet. Blending comedy and thriller is ingenious. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/10/25 Full Review John P I don't understand how you could be a fan of ITYSL or Detroiters and think this is good. Oh its the same director as Friendship? Duh obviously. Friendship and Chair Co are trying so hard to be edgy and serious and different. The serious tone just doesn't work. Especially when the story goes nowhere. The Tim jokes don't land when im being forced to believe by the direction score and tone that this is so serious. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/10/25 Full Review Read all reviews
